I am a data scientist turned product manager with a passion for driving user-centric engagement and business growth. My experience includes leading cross-functional teams and utilizing data and responsible AI to build digital products that enhance everyday life. At Frontiers, I managed the product roadmap for key applications, achieving significant improvements in user satisfaction and engagement.

Previously, I played a pivotal role at Radio Television Suisse, where I led the development of a new streaming platform, growing its user base to 300K in just one year. My ability to identify user pain points and translate them into actionable solutions has been instrumental in my success. I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and collaborate with diverse teams to deliver impactful products.
