Happiness Iluobe

Product Owner who ships customer-centric products using data and structured discovery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Owner with 8 years of experience owning products end-to-end, from discovery and strategy to execution and launch across telecommunication, oil & gas, software development, and real estate. I bring a strong analytical mindset and focus on building customer-centric solutions through clear product definition and alignment.
I’m skilled in defining product roadmaps, writing PRDs, MVP documents, user stories, and acceptance criteria, then translating them into execution with cross-functional teams. Using tools like Mixpanel and Google Analytics, I track product performance and drive data-informed decisions—improving customer retention by 25%.
I also strengthen how work gets delivered: I’ve optimized delivery processes through structured product practices, reduced project delays by 20%, and reduced bottlenecks by 25% by improving digital workflows and coordination. From leading and mentoring a team of 3 Business Analysts to standardizing SOPs and introducing structured discovery processes (30% client satisfaction improvement), I consistently create clarity, risk awareness, and measurable outcomes.
