What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior product leadership role where I can own strategy and execution—using KPI analysis, OKRs, and ROI-driven decision-making—to grow engagement and revenue with cross-functional teams.

I’m a senior product leader who blends product management, performance analysis, and program execution to make software marketing and product decisions stick. At Microsoft (Blizzard Studio), I led strategic planning and ROI analysis for a software franchise marketing budget ($50M+), built an executive reporting suite across engagement and revenue KPIs, and drove a regional marketing strategy shift that delivered a +11% MoM engagement lift.

Previously at Activision Blizzard, I led cross-functional initiatives across user acquisition funnel optimization (including ~80% reduced time for report generation), standardized measurement practices using OKRs and GA / Tableau reporting, and improved purchase rates through KPI analysis and A/B testing—lifting average content engagement time per user by 47% over one year. Earlier at Amazon, I partnered with business dev and finance to translate strategic requirements into product specs and financial projections for $70M+ revenue, and I led process/KPI monitoring that increased weekly content processing volume by +30%.
