What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive product roadmaps, operational excellence, and cross-functional delivery in a collaborative, data-driven environment.

I am a results-driven product manager with a long tenure in financial services, advancing from frontline roles to senior leadership at Discover Financial Services. I focus on process improvements, operational excellence, and delivering customer-centric digital transformations across complex ecosystems.

I've led cross-functional teams and Agile initiatives, reducing turnaround times and technical debt while migrating data to cloud environments and unifying data structures. I consistently deliver measurable outcomes, including decreasing turnaround from 45 to 20 days and cutting Agile technical debt from ~50% to under 10%.

As a people manager and trusted advisor, I build high-performing teams, create documentation and knowledge-sharing programs, and negotiate resources to meet product roadmaps and SLAs. I have experience guiding roadmaps, driving restitution and recovery quality control, and supervising both analysts and product teams.

I bring deep domain expertise in collections, recovery, and student and personal loan servicing, combined with hands-on experience in Agile, JIRA, MIRO, and analytics to unlock growth, improve adoption, and deliver operational gains.
