Strategic Product Director with 20+ years of digital innovation experience.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a strategic and data-driven Product Director with over 20 years of experience in leading digital product innovation and growth strategies. My career has been dedicated to launching 0-to-1 products and enhancing offer conversion in both B2B and B2C environments. I excel in optimizing lifecycle touchpoints and conducting A/B testing to drive monetization and user engagement.
Currently, I own the strategic product direction for an enterprise SaaS focused on industrial intelligence at Uptake. I have successfully launched a new industrial analytics product line that significantly increased SaaS revenue and improved customer experiences through user-centric design. My previous role as Senior Director at IAA allowed me to lead a buyer product portfolio, where I implemented a fraud-prevention initiative that saved over $5 million annually and generated new revenue streams through strategic expansion.
