What I'm looking for
I am a Product Manager with over a decade of experience in delivering high-impact, user-centric digital products across both startups and enterprise environments. My advanced technical degree complements my ability to translate brand goals into intuitive, data-informed product experiences that drive adoption, engagement, and retention. I have a proven track record in developing strategic roadmaps, prioritizing features, and optimizing product-market fit through continuous feedback loops.
At Best Buy, I lead app growth initiatives, focusing on increasing adoption and engagement while optimizing customer experiences. My efforts have resulted in a 4% increase in year-over-year adoption rates and a 10% rise in recognized sessions. I am passionate about cultivating high-performing, inclusive teams, instilling a culture of empathy, shared vision, and open communication to promote a strong sense of belonging.
Throughout my career, I have successfully founded and scaled tech startups, led digital transformations, and managed product lines across various platforms. My expertise in Agile methodologies and product analytics has allowed me to enhance project efficiency and deliver innovative solutions that meet market demands. I thrive in environments that challenge me to think creatively and strategically, and I am eager to continue driving impactful product initiatives.
