@kuriakevin
Senior product leader specializing in AI/LLM integration, 0-to-1 product development, and GTM execution.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven senior product leader with 7+ years owning end-to-end product lifecycles across conversational AI, fintech payments, e-commerce, social commerce and AI image generation. I have a proven track record building and scaling three products from 0-to-1 and driving product-market fit through data-driven decisions.
I specialize in AI/LLM product integration, product strategy, roadmap definition, OKRs, A/B testing and GTM-focused execution, and I lead cross-functional teams to deliver measurable business outcomes. I have conducted 200+ customer discovery interviews, driven retention improvements, and launched AI-powered features that materially increased client revenue.
My experience spans building product analytics, defining pricing and tiering, managing vendor selection and build-vs-buy decisions, and leading successful exits and accelerator selection efforts. I focus on rapid validation, reducing engineering risk, and aligning product roadmaps to business goals.
