Design-native product leader. Cloud gaming and streaming
.Product Lead at Blacknut. Bicultural FR/US. Passport always ready..
I lead product for Blacknut, the world's leading pure-player cloud gaming service. The job is shaping the strategy and roadmap for a B2B2C platform live in 65+ countries, pre-installed on 100M+ smart TVs, with 50+ telco, OTT and manufacturer partners (Orange, Jio, Samsung, LG, Amazon, Disney, Ubisoft, and a long etc).
My beat: monetization, cross-platform experience across TV, mobile and STB, and partner integrations.
Before product, I led design. UI-UX designer first, building B2B partner platforms. Then Head of Design, owning the system and brand across every partner integration. The detour pays off: I'm faster at the things consumer products hinge on, including design system craft, brand coherence, and UX you can defend in a PRD.

HOW I WORK
I think in product trade-offs and design details at the same time. The job is to ship things that make sense to the user on the worst day of their week, while making sense to the business on the worst day of the quarter. The interesting work lives in the gap. A few patterns I keep returning to. Build for the device people are already holding, not the one they should buy. Watch what users do, not what they say. Treat the design system like a product, with its own roadmap. Earn a yes from the team before you announce it to the company. If you've worked with me, you've probably heard "show me the data, then show me the user," or "let's mock it before we spec it." Both are true.
