• Use data and controlled experimentation to measure operator efficiency, engineering effort avoided, platform adoption, and commercial impact.
• Drive platform adoption by establishing clear documentation, onboarding, and feedback loops for internal product and commercial consumers.

• Proven record of platform product leadership owning technical, API-heavy, data-rich, or internal platform products used by multiple teams.
• Systems thinking ability to model complex dependencies across data, services, and workflows into stable, composable capabilities.
