hi — I'm Justin

I build products
people love.

Product leader by day, nights-and-weekends builder. I've spent my career taking products from 0→1 and beyond at consumer and enterprise companies, with stops at Fortune 500s and scrappy startups through four acquisitions and one IPO. Currently leading the Spoken Word team at Amazon Music.
