☀ About me

Leverage AI, keep the human in the loop.

I'm May, also Mayflower, Maymoon, or Susan, depending on who is asking. Product marketer by trade, data nerd by training, professional noticer by default. I study how people behave, run on food and sleep, and I write weird things I notice. I can't sit still, travel is non-negotiable.

My why

A great product can still go unnoticed.

I'm Burmese. My country is full of good people doing remarkable things, and in 2021 a military coup pushed all of it out of view while the world scrolled past. Living through that taught me the thing I now do for work. Having value is not enough. Someone has to help people understand why it matters, and that is the whole job of product marketing. It is why this one means something to me.

What I do

Product marketing, end to end.

I sit where the product, the market, and the go-to-market team meet. I shape positioning and messaging, run launches, and build the sales enablement that helps deals close, then keep it honest with product and marketing analytics. I have done this from zero as a first marketing hire, and I like being close enough to the data to know what is actually working.

The art of noticing

Three things I run on.

01

First-principle thinking

Strip a problem down to what is actually true, then rebuild from there. Fewer assumptions, sharper answers.

02

Notice what others don't

The edge lives in the details everyone scrolls past. I collect them, then turn them into positioning.

03

Do my best at what I do

Whatever the task, it ships at the top of my range. No half-effort, no throat-clearing.

Experience

The path so far.
