I’m a Senior Product Manager building BI and AI-driven products with Agile teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Manager, Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), and technical management consultant with 16+ years leading global teams in product strategy, business intelligence, and data analytics across automotive, healthcare, and consulting. I excel at defining roadmaps, driving Agile delivery, and delivering BI insights that optimize operations and inform executive decisions—building cross-functional alignment from day one.
At Toyota, I owned data governance as a Data Steward in Alation/Snowflake, defining catalogs, lineage, PII policies, and RBAC for 40+ PowerBI datasets that enabled self-service analytics and compliance. I also implemented Snowflake Cortex Analyst to power leadership reporting and integrate AI/ML for smarter queries and visualizations, doubling adoption—while teams delivered connected-vehicle BI dashboards, migrated telematics to Azure/Synapse, and reduced manual processes.
