What I'm looking for

I’m seeking product roles where I can lead AI-enabled B2B SaaS initiatives, work in cross-functional Agile teams, drive measurable outcomes, and promote responsible, people-centered AI adoption.

I am an AI-first Product Manager with a background in marketing, agile delivery, and SaaS product leadership, focused on building human-centered B2B products that deliver measurable business value.

I’ve led full product lifecycles, launched AI-enabled features like automated job profile generation using Gemini, and driven product suites while bridging consulting and technical teams to ensure solutions are business-relevant and technically robust.

As a regional ambassador for the South African Artificial Intelligence Association, I advocate for responsible, inclusive AI, coach teams on Agile practices, and share learnings on product strategy, AI experimentation, and stakeholder alignment.
