About
Hi, I'm Renee — I'm here to get you unstuck.
As a 5x Head of Product, 2x CPO, and now a startup advisor to B2B/B2C startups, AI Coach, & Fractional CPO/CTO/COO, I've learned a lot. Use my lessons learned and hard-earned product wisdom to accelerate your journey.
I specialize in 0→1 product building. With deep experience leading SaaS innovation across diverse sectors—including FinTech, aerospace, and logistics — I bring the strategic rigor of BigTech together with deep, hands-on experience building software solutions for complex, climate-critical industries including building decarbonization, methane mitigation, waste reduction, and circular systems.
Across my mentoring, I also fold in PRODUCT-MARKET-EARTH FIT™ Consulting wherever it's relevant — helping clients balance customer needs, business viability, and climate responsibility.
My leadership foundation includes time at Intuit, early-stage startups, tech unicorns, and deep cross-functional collaboration in high-stakes environments across small - Fortune 500 companies.

What mentees say
5 out of 5 stars
When I first connected with Renee, I was working to transition into a more fulfilling role in climate tech. I was struggling with how to position my transferable skills and what things to look for in a successful start up. I was also relocating to San Diego and trying to figure out how to plug into the climate ecosystem, build literacy, and network effectively. Renee was instrumental in helping me navigate that transition. She helped me refine my networking approach, prepare for interviews, and think strategically about which roles, companies and verticals within climate tech were the best fit for my long term goals. Her guidance was both strategic and practical, and she went out of her way to connect me with others in the industry. Her mentorship directly contributed to me successfully landing a new role in climate that I am much happier in. Renee is direct, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable about strategic product management and the climate tech landscape. I’d highly recommend her to product-minded professionals who are working in climate or trying to break into the space.

Renee is an exceptional mentor. We met every week for a few months while I was starting on my second fractional gig with a B2B startup and I really appreciated all the advice she gave. I highly recommend Renee!

As a complete novice when it comes to building my own marcomms consulting practice, Renee has been instrumental in helping me to get past the "where do I even begin" phase to starting process of building my network. Throughout our work together, Renee has provided structure, templates, and creative strategies to start conversations with potential clients, as well as continually encouraged me to keep going while also being patient with the process. Her mindset of seeing the building of my biz as a set of experiments we are continually refining has helped to get over rejection, impostor syndrome, and fear of failure to make meaningful steps to building the business of my dreams. While I am still at the beginning, I would recommend Renee to anyone looking to build out a fractional practice!
