Dynamic Senior Product Manager with expertise in financial product initiatives.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic Senior Product Manager with over 8 years of experience leading financial product initiatives in emerging markets. My strong technical background allows me to blend technical expertise with strategic business insights, driving impactful results. One of my key achievements includes the launch of the first mobile lending product in Mozambique, which attracted 500,000 customers and generated $10M USD in annual revenue.
Throughout my career, I have successfully revamped savings products, resulting in a 30% increase in customer base within the first month post-launch. I have also implemented an Open API for financial transactions, enhancing business efficiency. My experience at Vodafone M-Pesa involved introducing the SAFe Agile framework, which accelerated product delivery and optimized cross-functional collaboration.
My technical skills include software development and testing, product management, and AI-driven process optimization. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create innovative solutions that meet customer needs and drive business growth.
