Community Experience Producer · Product.ai

A community & events operator joining Product.ai to design and run the in-person experiences that turn the Alpha Team and the wider community into co-builders — the salons, labs, and gatherings where the product gets shaped in the room.

Spent a career building tech communities and running the programs that hold them together — innovation programs at Plug and Play, the program org at Product School, and community events across the Bay Area startup world. New here — and building the experience layer from the ground up.

The work she runs

Programs and gatherings — the public body of work.

A community producer’s output is the rooms they build. Here is the through-line — and a note on what she’s here to build next.

Plug and Play programs

The platform where running programs and convening people at ecosystem scale became the craft — corporate-innovation tracks, startup cohorts, and the events that knit them together.

Product School — Programs org

PM → Director

The program organization at a leading product-education company.

Owned how educational programs were built and delivered, progressing from Program Manager to Director of Programs — the operational backbone of a community-facing org.

SemperVirens — venture platform

Venture

Community and events on the platform side of a venture firm.

Convening founders, operators, and investors — turning a venture firm’s network into a community that actually engages, through curated sessions where the mix in the room is the product.
