What I'm looking for

I want a product leadership role where I can own strategy and execution, work cross-functionally, mentor teams, and deliver measurable user-centered growth.

I am a product leader with over 7 years of experience building and scaling products across fintech, SaaS, B2B and public-sector domains. I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution to turn user insights into measurable business outcomes.

At Avenews I led a fintech pivot that generated $500K ARR, doubled weekly lead acquisition, and cut lead conversion time from 10 days to 1 day while running a cross-functional squad. Previously I delivered impactful product and operational improvements at GIV Solutions and managed a high-value client portfolio at SparkHire.

Most recently I ran an independent business increasing revenue 15% QoQ while advising early-stage startups on product-market fit and UX strategy; I seek roles where I can lead product strategy, optimize execution, and mentor teams to deliver fast, user-focused results.
