What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a forward-thinking company that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my extensive experience in product management and compliance to drive impactful solutions.

I am a strategic and results-oriented Product Manager with over 19 years of experience in driving product lifecycle initiatives, particularly in financial services and compliance systems. My expertise lies in translating complex regulatory needs into scalable product solutions, leveraging Agile/Scrum methodologies to ensure successful outcomes. I have a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, defining product roadmaps, and delivering impactful solutions across cloud-native environments.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with engineers, data scientists, and stakeholders to drive product-market fit and build user-centric applications. At Arcesium, I led the roadmap strategy for a cloud-based compliance management platform, achieving a 30% reduction in operational workload through automation. My ability to establish continuous feedback mechanisms with global stakeholders has been instrumental in aligning product outcomes with evolving regulatory needs.
