Ethos Life
2 min readMay 1, 2024

When have you felt most fulfilled in your career?

Product managers are sometime called problem managers, and we can often get caught up in the daily grind of addressing the problem. I definitely feel the most satisfied in my career when I realize the problem has largely been solved and it’s time to address the next big challenge.

How do you inspire your team?

I am a strong believer in leading by doing. It’s easy to say something should be done, but actions are far more impactful.

What do you love most about working at Ethos?

The focus on outcome (solving the what and why of the problem) allows people to align quickly and make an amazing amount of progress in short time windows.

What makes Ethos different from other companies you’ve worked for?

The focus on execution efficiency. There is definitely a drive to deliver value that outstrips most other tech startups I have been around.

Who has been your greatest mentor, and how have they impacted you professionally?

The most influential mentor in my career must be my first manager. My whole approach to product management, leadership, and balancing career and life has been and will continue to be heavily influenced by the example they put forward.
