What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote Product Owner roles across US, EU, and APAC time zones, where I can own SaaS backlogs and roadmaps, translate customer needs into buildable requirements, and improve Agile delivery.

I'm currently owning the Regiobooster.com backlog and roadmap at Sephirotec GmbH, translating customer needs into prioritized user stories and shipping releases with a distributed engineering team.

At Funnelish, I reduced release cycle time by 20% through bi-weekly sprint reviews, backlog refinement, PRDs, and development-ready acceptance criteria. Previously at Idera, I ran delivery across 12+ global software brands, improved sprint completion rates by 15%, and reduced reporting lag from weekly to daily.

I've also led mobile, web, marketing, and production automation delivery work at The Saviour, The Upstarters, and Bridge Time, managing developers, client relationships, operational workflows, and high-stakes rollouts.

My engineering background helps me write requirements engineers can build from. I bring 25+ years of software experience across B2B and B2C SaaS, Agile delivery, stakeholder alignment, and remote teams.
