Ship Log

Made Zencity's AI feel like product, not a demo
Shipped a conversational assistant, MCP integrations, and an agent system that turns scattered survey, social, and engagement data into answers city leaders actually use — 40% more usage, 90% coming back. I also led the product side of Surveys — Zencity's largest line at 50%+ of ARR — building solutions to scale it.

Highest retention in company history — driving adoption on flagship accounts
As a senior enterprise CSM, I drove product adoption on Zencity's biggest, most public accounts — major US & UK agencies including Chicago PD, the City of Phoenix, and the London Met — and posted the highest retention numbers in the company across my years.

Where I started
Organizational consulting across public-sector and EU R&D work — international consortiums and innovation programs, and my first taste of making complexity legible.
Selected Work
— shipped at ZencityConversational AI Assistant
A conversational way for municipal leaders to interrogate their data. 90% came back — the core of the AI work that lifted usage 40%.
AI Agent System
Agents that write cross-module data summaries — retiring the manual analyst workflow and handing city leaders self-serve insight.
Scaling the Surveys Product
Built the product solutions that scaled Zencity Surveys — distribution, analysis, and delivery — including the trust-and-safety surveys used by law enforcement agencies.
Survey Benchmarking
Turns a community's survey scores into context — comparing them to statistically similar peer communities and national averages, refreshed every cycle. Custom peer cohorts, cohort-vs-national scoring, and gap indicators that show leaders exactly where they lead or lag.

Beyond Product
My background is in social psychology — I've always been drawn to what drives people's cognition in a social context: how we think, decide, and trust when others are in the room. Outside of product, music is the constant. I DJ'd alternative sets in bars for years, worked in record shops when I was younger and built a deep, wide-ranging collection, and I've been to more concerts than I can count. Probably no accident that one of my side projects is about live shows.
