How I Went From Strategic Sourcing to Product Management

I’ll always talk shop, but I’m also making space for philosophy, mental health, comedy, visibility, and the day-to-day thoughts that shape how I work and live. I start with my first role in San Francisco at Fictiv, an on-demand manufacturing marketplace (think “Airbnb of manufacturing”). I break down what I learned building the supply side: strategic sourcing, onboarding vendors, translating hardware requirements, and the real tension that exists between manufacturers and tech-driven customers. Then I dig into the product lessons that stuck with me most—treating vendors as users, the problem of unequal work distribution, and ideas like gamification and “reserved capacity” to build healthier marketplace dynamics. Finally, I reflect on startup velocity, leadership, burnout, and getting laid off during the pandemic—and why that chapter still shapes how I operate today. #productmanagement #startups #marketplaces #careerstory #leadership
