CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior product manager with 18+ years of experience building, launching, and scaling high-impact fintech products across B2B, B2C, and B2B2C markets.

In leadership roles I have defined product vision and roadmaps, shipped zero-to-one products, and driven market expansion across multiple African countries. I have a proven record of generating billions in transaction volume and achieving 100% YoY revenue growth while managing P&L for embedded finance offerings.

I hold an MBA focused on Advanced AI and continuous product management training (CSPO, Oxford Fintech Programme, UC San Diego). I bring a data-driven, customer-centric approach to product strategy, go-to-market execution, and digital transformation.
