As part of the early Google Maps team I was head of the Geo Product group in EMEA for severn years. I was responsible for some of the largest global features on Maps, including Directions by car, public transportation, biking and walking.

Google Shopping is a multi billion dollar business driving product searches on Google and connecting hundreds of millions of users with the biggest retailers in the world such as Walmart, Target, Macy’s and Amazon. For 5 years I led global Product Management for all retailer aspects (data, merchant tools, user interfaces, systems) of this two digit dollar billion business.
