What I'm looking for

I seek product leadership roles where I can drive product strategy, build data/AI-driven solutions, mentor teams, and deliver measurable growth in mission-driven organisations.

I am a Senior Product Manager and founder with 10+ years leading cross-functional and remote product teams across FinTech, EdTech and HRTech. I combine entrepreneurial drive with deep product practice to deliver scalable software solutions and measurable impact.

At Sabrulo I serve as Founder, Fractional Product Lead and AI PM, advising startups and AI ventures and delivering product-market fit and growth strategies for clients including the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, Olarm and Sand Technologies.

I have led technical product initiatives such as large-scale ML prediction models covering ~12M learners surfaced via Azure/Fabric and Power BI, and HRTech platforms that cut candidate shortlist time by 93% while driving significant platform growth and high NPS scores.

I hold an MBA and BCom degrees and bring a track record of launching global SaaS products, managing teams, optimising operations and driving measurable outcomes. I seek roles where I can lead product strategy, build data-driven solutions and mentor high-performing teams.
