What I'm looking for

I seek senior product roles where I can lead cross-functional teams to scale consumer or SaaS products, drive growth with data-informed experimentation, and build elegant user experiences in fast, metrics-driven organizations.

I lead product teams to grow consumer and SaaS businesses at scale, having scaled onX Hunt to 2.5M+ users and $170M+ ARR while growing the customer base 40% YoY. I coach cross-functional teams, launched first-to-market features that increased engagement 32%, and drove acquisition and retention improvements (25% and 15%) through onboarding, pricing, and experimentation.

Earlier, I delivered data-driven product outcomes across education and travel platforms, built a BI SaaS portfolio, and launched mobile-enabled SaaS products that unlocked millions in revenue. I hold an MBA in Strategy & Entrepreneurship and bring a blend of product leadership, technical and data fluency, and a strong design sensibility to every team I join.
