What I'm looking for
With over 17 years of experience, I am a highly organized and quick-thinking professional dedicated to delivering high-impact digital and in-person initiatives. My expertise lies in leading cross-functional teams and managing multi-million dollar programs, all while creating exceptional customer experiences. I thrive in fast-paced environments, balancing creativity with structure and meticulous attention to detail.
As a Product Manager at Pandora Jewelry, I successfully led programs that drove customer engagement and conversion through strategic testing and UX optimization, generating $22M in incremental revenue for North America in 2024.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in strategic planning and project management to create meaningful impacts in the e-commerce space.
