Strategic product manager driving data-informed, revenue-generating product pivots.
What I'm looking for
I am a strategic product leader with 8+ years of experience building data-driven products and driving major monetization pivots that scale revenue and user engagement.
I led the pivot to a Real-Money Gaming model, authored foundational PRDs, and grew daily core economic activity (CEA) 10x while expanding the MAU depositor base 3.5x, work which contributed to acquisition by Dream11.
I have founded and led product, software and analytics consulting engagements, built go-to-market plans, secured client POCs (including a $71K health-tech sandbox), and leveraged generative AI to accelerate prototyping and sales.
I partner closely with cross-functional teams, build analytics foundations (Segment, Amplitude, BigQuery), productize ML models for retention/LTV, and mentor product analysts to translate insights into measurable business outcomes.
