Senior Product Manager building scalable SaaS and data platforms across emerging markets.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Manager with 10+ years of experience leading cross-functional teams to build and scale SaaS and data platforms across health, agriculture, energy, and financial inclusion. I specialize in product strategy, roadmap execution, agile delivery, and experimentation frameworks like A/B testing, OKRs, and RICE.
Most recently, I owned end-to-end product development as the sole PM on a fast-moving Sentinel team—defining the roadmap, leading sprint planning, and improving reliability and compliance across MVR, PSP, and CDLIS service stacks. Before that, I led product management for Living Goods’ digital health solutions, managing full lifecycles across mobile/web applications, ETL pipelines, data visualization, and learning management, while institutionalizing a Product Management Framework to strengthen delivery and collaboration.
I’ve also delivered large-scale platform launches as a Product Owner at YARA International, including AfricaConnect onboarding 700K+ users and connecting 2 million farmers, plus launching marketplace capabilities that drove significant user growth and GMV. I’m currently building Project Vitality, a founder-led AI-powered, white-label headless commerce platform for consultative retail—piloting in Nairobi and targeting an MVP launch in March 2026.
