Vertiz
Hello. Hola.
Bonjour.
Hi, I'm Daley (yes, pronounced like everyday!) — a Product Manager with a proven track record of launching impactful products at scale across industry leaders like YouTube, Google, and Amazon.
I build at the margins of AI access — technology that lowers barriers instead of raising them, made for people from all walks of life, not just the ones already at the table. And just like my name, I show up for that mission every single day.
No one left outside the model.
Every product decision is a chance to include someone who wasn't included before. That's the work.
Let's
collaborate.
Daley Axis Labs is my after-hours venture lab — a commitment to the people often left on the margins of tech development. Part portfolio. Part public service. All craft. It is rooted in my desire to ensure that AI is not just developed with those who are often first to adopt cutting edge technology, but also with those at the margins of tech movements that often experience gaps in knowledge and access to these technologies.
Human-first AI tools
Products that lower the barrier between people and AI — starting with communities and use cases that are underserved by the mainstream. If it isn't useful to someone who hasn't been centered by tech, it doesn't ship.
Inclusive, intentional, and open
I seek to collaborate with people whose values are deeply rooted in changing the impact of new technologies to serve as many people across the world as quickly as possible.
The margin is where the work is
The most important problems in AI aren't being solved at the center — they're at the edges, where access breaks down and assumptions go unchallenged. That's where Daley Axis Labs lives, and that's where we want to build.
Got an idea?
So do I.
I'm always open to product consulting, collaboration, and building with values-driven people. If you're working on something human-first — let's talk.
Things I've
shipped.
Building & transforming the Smart Home with Gemini
Internationalization PM for Gemini for Google Home — making sure a product built for "everyone" actually is. Localized product logic and culturally aware AI, not just translation.
Helped global brands and merchants develop powerful creator partnerships
Creator strategies for Nordstrom, Walmart, and Sacheu Beauty built on mid-tier creators whose communities outperformed mega-influencers. Also shipped the platform's first YouTube Shopping discovery tool.
Prioritizing diversity isn't just ethical — it's a better business strategy.
Launched Alexa in Spanish and Italian
Launched Alexa in Spain and Italy. The local "papercuts" — regional pronunciations, character name differences — turned out to be universal, which became Play by Movies: request music by context, anywhere.
It started on the retail floor
Vendor management and brand strategy across Amazon Retail — learning how catalogs, margins, and selection actually work. The habit of adapting to any category, any room, is what became the product career.
So glad our
orbits crossed.
Open to ideas, collaborations, and conversations.
