Product lead focused on high-stakes marketplaces, search/ranking systems, and conversion loops where users need confidence before taking action. Led Grow Therapy's client marketplace across search, profiles, booking, matching, and ML-powered ranking, driving 45% relative conversion lift, reducing first-appointment cancellations, and improving retention.

The throughline is search, trust, ranking, and decision quality: finding the hidden decision points, making the system measurable, and shipping the few product changes that actually move behavior.
