Head of Product
Throughout this period, I spearheaded a remarkable pivot in our product offerings, seamlessly integrating and aligning product strategies and growth initiatives with a visionary approach that strategically reshaped our company for greater relevance and competitiveness. Delving into market trends, leading competitor assessments, and tapping into valuable customer insights, I drove product innovation to maintain an engaging and competitive edge.
I've had the pleasure of working with Deanne at a fast paced, cutting edge startup, and I can attest to her intelligence, drive and passion for her work. Deanne would be a great addition to any startup team, bringing with her top notch product chops and meticulous eye for quality experiences. Looking forward to working with her again soon!

The Project
MyFanPark.com provides a platform where fans can purchase personalized video messages, live video calls, and other engaging experiences from their favorite celebrities, influencers, and athletes.
Target Audience
Our marketplace primarily served two main user groups: celebrities or content creators seeking interactions or merchandise, and fans desiring engagements. Additionally, we had a secondary audience utilizing a white-labeled version of our software, which facilitated global celebrity sharing and offered their unique experiences.
Competitors
Immediately after Starsona (now MyFanPark) launched, Cameo secured significant funding, leading to the emergence of several other companies attempting to compete with Cameo's success.
User Insights
The fans wanted merchandise and more variety than what Cameo was providing. The creators wanted more freedom and customization.
The Problem
MyFanPark aimed for competitive superiority by offering enhanced customization and unique features, setting itself apart to effectively compete with Cameo.
The Solution
The product evolved beyond videos to encompass direct messaging on chat or social media, duets, live calls, commercial promotions, and merchandise, accessible via mobile and web applications for both creators and fans. However, despite its superior features, the project faced challenges with funding and talent acquisition, ultimately leading to the sale of the product to a company in another country where it found success.
