What I'm looking for

I seek a product role where I can lead AI-driven product strategy, run user-centered discovery, align cross-functional teams, and drive measurable ARR growth in a collaborative, outcomes-focused company.

I am a certified Product Manager with 8+ years of experience building digital and AI-driven products, combining qualitative and quantitative research to turn user insights into clear product decisions. I lead discovery-to-delivery cycles, define hypotheses and success metrics, and create engineering-ready requirements.

My background spans hardware+software platforms, B2B SaaS, and satellite communications, where I owned pricing, packaging, and GTM planning, drove ARR growth, and improved customer retention through data-informed roadmaps. I collaborate closely with Design, Engineering, and Growth to prototype, validate, and ship high-confidence MVPs.

I value direct user communication, cross-functional alignment, and measurable outcomes; I bring hands-on experience with analytics, Tableau, SQL, Python basics, Figma, Jira, and product frameworks (PSPO I) to accelerate product-market fit and commercial adoption.
