As Head of Product and Content I led the launch of the platform for a private membership community of business leaders — home to the newsletters, podcasts, events, issue collections, and member-facing programming. Alongside it: the audience and lead-gen programs, an expert network, and an enterprise product for Fortune 50 buyers.
