What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive product strategy, improve hiring and onboarding, and deliver measurable business impact in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a results-driven product manager with 10+ years bridging technology, business strategy, and talent acquisition to deliver measurable outcomes. I have led full product lifecycles, optimized release cycles, negotiated vendor savings, and launched go-to-market strategies while improving user experience and reducing costs.

I also build recruiting programs and sourcing strategies that improved placement and retention, developed onboarding to boost new-hire productivity, and drove cross-functional teams to meet deadlines and stakeholder expectations. I prioritize clear communication, data-informed decisions, and scalable processes to align technical capabilities with business goals.
