Leading the integration of AI and ML technologies to drive business value.
As the Sr. Director of Product Management leading Tapestry's Generative AI practice, I spearheaded initiatives to integrate AI across the organization's house of brands (Coach, Kate Spade, Stuart Weitzman). My approach focused on practical applications that delivered tangible business value while maintaining brand integrity.
Through my experience leading AI initiatives, I've developed a framework for successfully implementing AI in enterprise environments:
Start with clear business objectives and identify specific problems AI can solve.
Assess data availability, quality, and governance requirements.
Develop internal expertise and partner with external specialists as needed.
Start with high-impact, low-risk use cases to demonstrate value.
Expand successful pilots and integrate into core business processes.
Establish frameworks for responsible AI use and ongoing monitoring.
I believe AI will transform product management in several key ways:
"The most successful product leaders won't be replaced by AI, but they will be those who effectively leverage AI to amplify their teams' capabilities and deliver exceptional customer value."
