About Me

Solving the user problems that lead to indispensable products

I'm a data-driven, probablistic thinker who loves applying my skillset to the relentless ambiguity of product management. I speak the language of tradeoffs and possibilities, with an eye to the horizon and an ear to users, stakeholders, leadership and cross-functional teammates.

My experience spans B2C products in multi-sided marketplaces, digital media, sports, travel, e-comm, growth and platform, where I've consistently delivered products that exceed user expectations and achieve business goals.

Ilario has an excellent approach to Product and thrives in environments with teams that have ambiguous requirements, where he can take a large scope of ownership and just figure out how to get things done. He has a great Product instinct where he can take the most complex and sometimes unexciting projects, making them exciting, breaking them down, taking ownership and actually delivering.

I was most impressed with how deep into the weeds Ilario got with the Data Product, specifically doing his own hands on technical/analytics work. He owned our data platform, finalizing Data Schemas, and was very hands on with Product/Data analytics tools. It was also impressive to see how adaptable and seamless he is, able to approach product from a Data, Growth, and Feature mindset. He can take things from zero to 1 and beyond, building internal equity and relationships with cross functional team members, and getting things shipped. He's really good at working with technical stakeholders, understanding APIs, and how systems work.

My Apps

Beyond product management, I enjoy building things myself. This is a collection of personal web apps I've created — small tools, experiments, and side projects that scratch an itch or explore an idea.
