When I joined Instill Labs, they had a powerful idea but no shipped product. HR teams at Fortune 500 companies desperately needed tools to measure and improve workplace culture using behavioral science, but existing solutions were either too academic or too simplistic.
The company had enterprise demand - interested customers reaching out - but no way to convert that interest into revenue. The tech team had built some prototypes, but there was no clear product strategy, no go-to-market plan, and no process for understanding what customers actually needed.
Before writing a single PRD, I spent 3 months conducting 100+ discovery interviews with HR leaders, Chief People Officers, and culture consultants across Fortune 500 companies. I wasn't pitching - I was learning.
Key insight: They didn't want another survey tool. They wanted a system that could continuously measure culture, predict risk areas, and recommend interventions backed by behavioral science.
I synthesized all the discovery insights into a clear product roadmap with 3 phases:
This roadmap gave the team focus and gave customers clarity on what to expect and when.
I led the development of a domain-specific AI model trained on 50 years of behavioral research. This wasn't just another GPT wrapper - we fine-tuned models to understand organizational psychology, culture frameworks, and evidence-based interventions.
I defined data governance standards, model evaluation criteria, and quality gates to ensure enterprise-grade reliability. This became our competitive moat.
I managed a cross-functional team of product managers, data scientists, and ML engineers across 5 countries. We shipped beta in 3 months, then iterated rapidly based on customer feedback.
I established sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and clear release cycles that accelerated time-to-market by 35%.
I'm seeking AI Product, Strategy, or Consulting opportunities for Summer 2026. Let's talk about building great products together.
