Define and execute the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Stacks and project context experiences within Dropbox. Clarify the relationship between folders, Stacks, Spaces, projects, Home, AI/chat experiences, and collaborative workflows to create a cohesive user mental model.

Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Search, Connectors, Sharing, Platform, and AI teams to deliver scalable and intuitive user experiences. Define onboarding flows, naming systems, promotion paths, and interaction patterns that help users understand when and why to use Stacks. Establish product quality bars, experimentation frameworks, learning goals, and success metrics for early design partner programs and broader rollout strategies.

Translate complex technical tradeoffs around retrieval, permissions, freshness, connector reliability, and model behavior into clear product decisions that maintain user trust and simplicity.
