Voluntary Leadership

Running
with Rami

For 11 years, I've been running alongside PTSD veterans. Every week, before any product meeting or strategy deck.

Leading 100+ person communities isn't just about logistics - it's about showing up, every week, for what matters. Running for Resilience.

Years volunteering

100+

Veterans per week

42km

Marathon distance

Runners at sunrise - Running with Rami community

"Leading people under pressure isn't a skill you learn in a boardroom."

The resilience you build running 42km with someone who has survived trauma translates directly to how I lead product teams through ambiguity and hard decisions.

Why it matters

The same qualities that make a good community leader - consistency, empathy, showing up when it's hard - are exactly what I bring to product leadership.

Consistency over motivation
Empathy as a strategic tool
Community thinking at scale
Ready for new challenges
