What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, emphasizes collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in digital product management.

I am a strategic digital product leader with a robust background in clinical trial innovation, patient-centric design, and AI-driven solutions. My career has been marked by a proven ability to launch scalable platforms that align digital strategy with business goals while driving Agile product delivery. I excel in leading cross-functional teams, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing user experience across the clinical trial ecosystem.

Throughout my tenure at Pfizer, I successfully launched the MVP of the first sponsor research registry using precision medicine, scaling to over 20,000 users in just six months. I have delivered AI-powered patient journey avatars and integrated eConsent and remote monitoring into decentralized clinical trial platforms. My leadership in product discovery efforts, including journey mapping and roadmapping, has been instrumental in developing value propositions that resonate with stakeholders.

My educational background includes an MBA in Computer Information Systems and a Master’s in Cell/Molecular Biology, which complements my extensive experience in the life sciences sector. I am committed to fostering innovation and driving results in the clinical trial landscape, leveraging my skills in Agile product ownership and cross-functional leadership.
