Hello! I'm Allen

I'm an entrepreneur and fractional Head of Product based in NYC.

I'm exploring new ideas in the AI application space while also helping companies with product strategy and execution needs.

I have both a business and technical background, which means I love wearing different hats.

Here's a little more about me...

Fractional Head of Product

Helping companies in the 1 → 10, Seed to Series B stage build great products and teams.

Building a Product Org

Expertise in building PM, Design, Data, and Research teams from the ground up.

AI Strategy & Features

Experimenting with AI's latest capabilities to build sensible features that drive business goals.

Growth Product Work

Defining and improving onboarding and activation funnels tailored for Product-Led Growth.

Core Product Work

Making data- and feedback-informed decisions to iterate and improve the core product experience.

Strategy & Unification

Aligning Product and Engineering with Marketing, Sales, Success and Ops for a coherent strategy.

Product Ops

Helping Product organizations improve their workflows and efficiency, including leveraging AI.

Before that...

2024 - 2025: Liminary

CEO & Co-founder at Liminary. Raised a Pre-seed round from institutional investors to build the knowledge companion for high information synthesis knowledge workers - an ambient AI tool to easily save, synthesize, recall, and use knowledge.

2019 - 2024: Bubble

VP Product at the leading no-code web application builder. Was the first PM / Head of Product hire when the company was 15 people. Grew the Product org to a team of 30 great PMs, Product Designers, Data experts, Researchers and Bubble Developers. Got to wear a lot of different hats along the way.

2018-2019: Better Mortgage

Left as a Director of Product working on user conversion optimization as well as the internal tool that helped our Sales org achieve 10x efficiencies relative to mortgage industry benchmarks.

2016-2018: Google, Docs / Sheets / Slides

PM on features and scopes that spanned across Docs, Sheets and Slides. Launched the Analytics feature and was the PM for templates and the add-on platform. Was part of the pivot to enterprise and helped by being the liaison between Product and Sales.

And before that...

It's almost ancient history at this point :) If you're really curious, check out my LinkedIn.

My side projects

I like to tinker. Here are some of my side projects from over the years.

Email Myself (fka NōtoMe)

A simple iOS app that lets you quickly email a note to yourself

The innovation? Swipe right to send the email to one address (e.g. personal), swipe left to send to another (e.g. work)

App store link (still live!)

PayMosaic

A pay database formed by scraping the salary ranges from public job postings

Built with Bubble and a few 3rd party services to help with scraping. Fun to see the law of large numbers emerge to result in data that was reasonably in-line with players like Pave, but which could give a much more real-time view of the market

Fauxlinks

A tool to power a company's internal "go-links" (a la Google)

Built with a friend as a Bubble app + Chrome extension. Tested out the idea of replicating simple existing SaaS ideas but with a much lower cost basis by using no-code tools

Slides Superuser Tools

A Google Slides add-on that put a palette of various formatting and other poweruser utility features in a convenient sidebar

The Google Slides equivalent of the internal Powerpoint plugins that many consulting firms have

Prioritab

A Google Chrome new tab page that let you track your top priorities for today, this week and this month

My first ever published side project!

Technically still live!
