How do you decide what to build next?

Combine quantitative signals (usage data, funnel drop-off, support tickets) with qualitative signals (customer interviews, sales feedback) against the current strategic goal, then validate the top candidate with a lightweight prototype before committing engineering time.

Walk me through a product you launched, end to end.

Structure the answer around: the problem and evidence it existed, the solution you chose and why, how you validated it before building, the launch plan, and the measurable outcome — including what you would do differently.

How do you measure product success?

Define one North Star metric tied to customer value before launch, pair it with 2-3 guardrail metrics to catch unintended negative side effects, and review both on a fixed cadence rather than only at launch.
