I help companies get better at experimentation, customer research, and iterative development of both products and processes. I've spent many years working with early- and mid-stage startups, but currently am at the opposite end of the spectrum: driving change within Microsoft! After leading research for Yammer pre- and post-acquisition, I'm now a principal design researcher for the Cloud & Enterprise division at Microsoft.
