§ Experience
Rentvine
2024 – Present
Chief Product Officer (Jun 2025 – Present) · Chief Experience Officer (Mar 2024 – Jul 2025)
- Created the Land > Expand product strategy, a multi-year roadmap that beat aggressive YoY growth targets for three consecutive years, at a company with 4,682% three-year revenue growth (Inc. 5000 #60).
- Built product & design from zero (no PMs, designers or roadmap) to a 20-person team, with a multi-year roadmap, quarterly and continuous planning, and operating models.
- Launched the first MCP in SFR property management, positioning Rentvine as the most open, AI-first choice. More than 70% of deals closed faster when MCP was discussed.
- Set strategy and vision for the Rentvine Cru agentic workforce (formerly “Pro Skills”); oversaw build and GTM, set pricing, and championed “Guidance” for natural-language customization.
- Helped secure a $74M private equity growth investment from Mainsail Partners (Aug 2024) by standing up the product function and roadmap.
- Part of the leadership team behind Inc. 5000 #60, Deloitte Fast 500 #18, the RentFinder.ai acquisition, and “Happiest Customers” / “Category Leader” ratings on PropertyManagement.com.
- PMs as builders: personally shipped an owner-facing financial reporting feature to prove PMs can ship complex features, including database schema changes, to production.
