Hi. I'm Alison. I help CPOs and CEOs get their product orgs up to speed on AI.
Product orgs can't fully adopt AI in isolation. They touch everything — eng, design, data, sales, customer success, strategy. Change how product works and you're often changing how the whole system works.
The tools don't make it easier. Most aren't built for PMs, and none are built for major workflow changes or to handle the frustrations and anxieties your team may be experiencing as you navigate the unknown.
The teams pulling ahead aren't waiting for a playbook.
When AI initiatives stall, it's not always clear why. Is it the tools and their implementation? Is it new workflows, ones just starting to emerge across the industry? Or is it the talent you have in place — on the product team and throughout the org?
My partner — a Chief AI Officer with two AI/ML exits, currently in active implementation — brings the technical depth to your deployment. I'm constantly talking to CPOs, CTOs, and founders at frontier product orgs, where the insights on how to ship faster and better are current, not theoretical. And as a former CPO who has managed teams across size and industries, I can help you navigate the myriad people challenges and opportunities along the way.
The path forward is just around the corner.
A focused AI engagement for CPOs and product leaders who need to understand where they are, what good looks like right now, and what to do next — across tools, workflows, team structure, and how to manage and develop people in a rapidly changing environment.
Some companies reach a point where the opportunity isn't just transforming product — it's redesigning how the whole organization works around AI. For those scenarios, I work with CEOs and exec teams to identify and implement the changes that matter across functions.
Twenty years navigating dramatic change.
I was previously Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Howl, a B2B startup that raised a $27M Series A.
I led product teams at Facebook, Amazon, and Rent the Runway, but I thrive in early-stage environments. I was the first employee at a mobile publishing startup that exited via acquisition. I currently teach a master's level course at Columbia University titled "Leadership in Times of Disruption."
Before my product career, I was a journalist who deeply lived the print-to-digital disruption of the news industry. I've closely studied the winners and losers over the last 20 years, and see the parallels of today's AI moment with ones from the past. "History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes."
