Senior Product Manager at AGS building voice AI procurement agents; raised call-to-lead conversion from 2% to 60%.
What I'm looking for
At AGS, I built an AI voice-agent product from its first test call to production. It calls farmers, negotiates price and volume, qualifies leads, and hands them to buyers.
Through 62 structured hypotheses, I moved call-to-lead conversion from 2% to 60%. The MVP sourced $3M of grain for one client, and the procurement cycle became about seven times faster.
At EUDR Assistant, I built a solo AI compliance product for SMEs and traders, covering discovery, product, code, deployment, and go-to-market. It reached 900+ monthly users organically, with accuracy and safe answers central to the work.
At VP Global Oy, I built and trained a WhatsApp AI sales agent that handled inbound B2B orders. I also built the company’s analytics function, using SQL, Python, and R for forecasting, dashboards, and lead-generation automation.
