What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth.

I am a strategic and technically adept Senior Product Manager with over 8 years of experience leading end-to-end product development, particularly in the legal tech sector. My career has been marked by a proven ability to drive 0→1 innovation, scale internal automation tools, and collaborate effectively with engineering, design, and leadership teams. I thrive in ambiguous environments, balancing customer empathy with technical execution to deliver products that enhance efficiency, adoption, and revenue.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as leading the development of two industry-leading legal deposition products now utilized by over 400,000 Veritext users. I partnered with engineers to automate 90% of a manual loan origination process using OCR and OpenAI, and I successfully increased festival revenue by 30% through a redesigned ticket packaging strategy. My experience spans various industries, including medicine, law, logistics, and e-commerce, where I have led multiple development teams and product roadmapping sessions.
