Senior Product Manager driving data-driven transformation, AI activation, and measurable business performance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Manager with over 15 years of experience spanning discovery, strategy, delivery, and operations of complex digital products. I specialize in data-driven transformation and business performance optimization, turning insights into execution through OKRs and measurable outcomes.
I’ve led national-scale product launches—such as deploying a mobile app across 850+ restaurants—while increasing mobile sales by +35% and MAU by +45% through continuous user research and adaptive go-to-market. I also activated AI capabilities to improve product impact, including an 80% reduction in search time for expertise and faster Time-to-Market.
Across my roles as Chief Product Officer and Product Efficiency Leader, I’ve managed multi-team leadership (up to 3 product teams and cross-functional teams), built centralized platforms and identity (IAM) for B2B/B2C ecosystems, and delivered analytics-driven UX improvements (+60% conversion). I bring a practical, mentoring-focused Agile approach—training Product Owners and optimizing delivery with Scrum/Jira to reduce TTM from months to weeks.
