What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead UX-first product and portfolio strategy for enterprise SaaS or EdTech—driving roadmaps, Agile delivery, and quality while using data analytics and AI-enabled workflows to deliver measurable outcomes.

I’m a senior product, program, and portfolio leader with deep experience delivering enterprise software from concept to launch across education technology, retail, and SaaS environments. I lead cross-functional teams in Agile/Scrum, align stakeholder needs, define roadmaps, and focus on shipping high-quality products on time.

In my current role as an Associate Director at Verano Learning Partners, I drive product and operational strategy across multiple organizations, launching new startup software systems “from the ground up” while building scalable product workflows. I embed UX as a core product requirement and use data analytics and design thinking to drive adoption—building AI-assisted and AI-enabled workflows that speed up document creation and summarize regulatory changes for leadership review. Previously, at StrongMind I advanced platform rollout and measurable learning outcomes, leveraging Google Analytics, Hotjar, and AI to accelerate curriculum and support safer engagement through automated chat monitoring.
