Product management leader at Walmart driving APD assortment strategy and product development across 25+ sites.

United States
Message

At Walmart, I lead Accelerated Pickup & Delivery assortment strategy and product development across 25+ sites. I translate organizational goals into scalable capabilities, multi-quarter roadmaps, and annual plans.

I manage product managers across four upstream pillars and drive initiatives from discovery and prioritization through launch. For APD, I define capacity requirements and eligibility models, and use A/B tests during pilots to support reliable rollouts.

I also lead vendor and merchant DSD integrations and item data governance, establishing standardized interfaces, validation, and remediation practices. I partner with engineering, operations, merchants, and vendors on product delivery and adoption.

Earlier at Walmart, I built talent analytics dashboards and integrated people data sources. At Tata Consultancy Services, I owned application enhancements from requirements through deployment and contributed to process improvements, including a Six Sigma initiative with $500,000 in net savings.
