What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my product management expertise in a dynamic environment, where I can drive innovation and lead teams to success.

I am a multi-time founding Product Manager with a strong track record of building innovative products and accelerating product strategies in both B2B and B2C environments. My experience spans various roles, where I have thrived in ambiguous situations, demonstrating calm and leadership even during challenging times. At Tally, I led the development of a new B2B loan platform and enhanced data governance strategies, significantly improving data quality and security.

Throughout my career, I have successfully launched products that drive user engagement and growth. My role at OpenSesame involved leading product strategy for their course catalog, where I implemented features that increased user interaction by 33%. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems, as evidenced by my work in fraud prevention and operations, where I reduced manual reviews by 90% through innovative solutions.

As a leader, I prioritize collaboration and mentorship, ensuring that my teams are aligned and empowered to succeed. I believe in empathetic servant leadership, which has allowed me to foster a positive work environment and drive successful outcomes across various projects.
