Hi, I’m Anna. I like to synthesize seemingly unrelated ideas, optimize processes, and solve complex problems. I see patterns where others see chaos, and build bridges where others see gaps. 

I've helped helped cross-functional teams communicate smarter, not harder, and listened (really listened) to customers to build products they love.

I started out my career in entertainment and immersive tech, and approach all of my work through the lens of storytelling -- whether it’s a user journey or a technical workflow. In 2016, I co-founded an immersive audio studio, becoming an industry leader in sound design and audio engineering for virtual/augmented reality (XR). I had the opportunity to create award-winning XR projects, to consult with growing startups, to speak at top industry events, and to design and teach three university-level courses on immersive technology.

From there, I made the jump into product management, and in 2022, I shifted my career into climate tech so that I could spend this pivotal decade being part of the solution to the most pressing existential problem of our time: climate change. At Ford Pro Charging, I navigated complex challenges with IoT devices and hardware-software interoperability issues, amidst an emerging industry where the rules and best practices are still being written. 

As a product/operations generalist, my diverse background is my greatest asset. On any given day, I'm able to wear multiple hats and adapt to ambiguous environments; rapidly learn new skills and industries; be the connective tissue bridging cross-functional teams, disciplines, industries, and viewpoints; and maintain a birds-eye view of complex problems to create holistic solutions.

I get most excited about emerging technologies in nascent industries, regenerative agriculture, sustainable packaging, food waste prevention, and seaweed.
