AI Product Manager
I turn real human needs into clear product direction.
I’m Rose Sherrod, a product leader with experience in digital health, community platforms, and AI product strategy. I connect customer insight, business priorities, and measurement to help teams define useful products and understand whether they’re working.

Why AI Product Management
Three flagship stories
Create. Improve and scale. Build the systems that make delivery trustworthy.
ENTERPRISE AI · COMMUNITY INTELLIGENCE · PRODUCT STRATEGY · Working demo
ACE: From Community Stories to Enterprise Intelligence
- The problem
- Health systems and life-science partners need culturally grounded community insight, but raw community stories are hard to aggregate or act on without stripping out the meaning and the trust behind them.
- My contribution
- Originated the concept, name, product definition, monetization thesis, target buyer segments, and MVP direction; authored the product companion document and interpretation guardrails. David Faulk built the ACE Health Equity World Model, keeping my product ownership distinct from engineering implementation.
- What came of it
- Concept to a working enterprise demo in roughly 80 days; externally demonstrated to a biopharma stakeholder in December 2025, with a stable demo link by January 7, 2026. Licensing language and an approximately $200K proposed scope expansion were early commercial signals — not production adoption or realized revenue.

NOWINCLUDED: Product Direction, Measurement, and Delivery
- The problem
- A mission-driven community health product with no formal KPIs, no shared way to decide what to build next, and ad hoc releases.
- My contribution
- Defined the North Star and the Supply → Match → Mobilize operating model, owned the roadmap and requirements, and led engineering, data, design, and community partners through a year of dated releases.
- What came of it
- Engagement grew from 11% to 32% in Q3 2025. Later analysis found 54.5% trailing-90-day activity among members who engaged with Health Stories versus 6.6% in the comparison group — an association, not proof of causation. Not an AI product; the direction-setting and measurement discipline is what carries into AI product work.

Tiered Health Actions: Defining What Meaningful Action Looks Like
- The problem
- Every action in the product counted the same toward the North Star — a walking challenge weighed as much as a clinical trial enrollment, so the business could not tell engagement from the actions partners pay to drive.
- My contribution
- Defined a three-tier health action taxonomy, weighted the North Star Metric against it, and used the tiers to prioritize roadmap work and specify what engineering needed to instrument.
- What came of it
- A shared planning language for separating partner-reportable outcomes, steps toward them, and foundational engagement. Senior leadership used the framework and it was reflected in the P1/P2 schema; a later database review did not find a complete instrumented tier funnel. This is measurement design, not an AI build.
Product leadership
Clear judgment, shared direction, measurable work.
As Product Lead / Product Manager at Acclinate, I lead strategy, requirements, measurement, and release quality across digital health and AI product work.
Turn evidence into direction
I connect community insight, business priorities, and measurement to define useful product decisions.
Lead across functions
I align engineering, data, design, community, marketing, and executive partners around clear tradeoffs and delivery.
Set responsible AI boundaries
I define where AI adds value, what requires human review, and what a product must never infer or overclaim.
Connect work to outcomes
I build measurement into the product strategy so teams can understand what changed, what remains uncertain, and what to do next.
About Rose
Product leadership shaped by community.
My path into product moved through creative design, web content, community engagement, and UX research before I became Product Lead / Product Manager at Acclinate. Today I shape digital health experiences, measurement systems, and responsible AI product direction rooted in real community needs.
I also founded Just Smile Family Foundation, serving families impacted by childhood cancer. Across both product and nonprofit work, I return to one question: Will this serve people well?
