Senior Product Manager · Dallas, TX
7+ years owning enterprise platforms end to end. Fortune 15 clients. Products that scale.
About
I'm a Senior Product Manager with 7+ years building enterprise platforms and consumer-facing digital products. At Five & Done, I own product strategy, roadmap, and API architecture for Toyota and Lexus — a Fortune 15 client whose incentive platform processes 22M+ API calls per day across 85+ downstream consumers.
My work covers two domains. Enterprise platform work: incentive and API infrastructure that Toyota and Lexus regional teams use daily to manage offers, pricing, and eligibility requirements, which in turn powers the marketing and payment estimation experiences consumers see on Toyota.com and Lexus.com. Consumer-facing product work: ecommerce and conversion-focused products, from Fender's Resource Center (225% growth in trial subscriptions, 115% growth in orders) to Toyota's dealer and EV map experience.
I hold an A-CSPO certification, spend as much time in Postman and Swagger as I do in Jira, and do my best work at the intersection of technical depth and business strategy.
My process starts with the problem, not the feature request. I hold the first solution loosely — stress-testing alternatives before committing, especially when scale is on the table and architecture decisions are hard to unwind. Once direction is clear, the work shifts to alignment: building the case, sequencing the right things, and moving engineering, design, and stakeholders together.
Outside of work
When I'm not working you'll probably find me chasing down my toddler, catching a Stars game, or searching for the best Tex-Mex in DFW.
