Behind The Controller

Hi, I'm Sabs.

I believe in building things that matter: systems, platforms, careers, and communities. And I believe in doing it with clarity, honesty, and just the right amount of rebellion.

I grew up gaming. Not for high scores or competition, but because games were where I found belonging, structure, and a sense of possibility. Years later, I’d find myself building the very systems I once escaped into, only this time, from the inside out.

I’m not someone who chases titles. I chase impact. And along the way, I learned how to lead teams, navigate broken orgs, and ask the uncomfortable questions others were avoiding. I’ve worked in environments where burnout was rewarded, credit was optional, and people like me weren’t always expected to lead. I led anyway.

I created Reasoned (a podcast and newsletter) because I wanted a space to name the things we don’t say at work: the invisible labor, the structural bias, the quiet burnout, and the power of showing up anyway. It’s not just about product management; it’s about what is revealed about the systems we live in and work with.

Today, I’m a product executive at PlayStation. But more than that, I’m a mentor, a speaker, a systems nerd, a gamer, and a sculptor. I lead with strategy, voice, and heart, and I’m here to build a smoother pathway for whoever comes next.

If you’re building platforms, leading people, questioning systems, or just trying to find your way through them, you’re in the right place.
