What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Product Manager with over 7 years of experience in SaaS, e-commerce, and AI/ML-driven solutions.

I combine technical expertise with Ph.D.-level analytical rigor, allowing me to solve complex problems and lead cross-functional teams effectively.
In my recent role as Head of Paid Advertising at The Branding Boutique, I led a team to achieve a remarkable 2,000% increase in web traffic and customer acquisition growth. My experience at Microsoft as a Product Manager for the Billing Platform allowed me to generate $55M in incremental revenue by introducing innovative features and aligning teams around a user-centric product roadmap. I am passionate about creating impactful products that not only meet user needs but also drive business success.
