Cross-functional product and marketing professional with 13+ years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I'm a cross-functional product and marketing professional with over 13 years of experience driving adoption, conversion, and retention in both B2C and B2B environments. My expertise lies in combining user research, sharp positioning, and iterative go-to-market (GTM) execution to scale customer-centric products. I thrive at the intersection of product, brand, and growth, translating insights into messaging and experiences that resonate with users.
Currently, I lead GTM and product adoption for a bootstrapped cross-border fintech platform, where I successfully acquired over 16,000 paying users in under a year. My experience includes UX optimization, qualitative and quantitative research, and data-informed messaging that drives conversion lift. I have spearheaded product-led growth initiatives, refined activation flows, and launched impactful campaigns that significantly boosted user engagement and reduced customer acquisition costs.
