Seasoned digital product leader driving growth through AI-led, scalable product solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned digital product leader with deep experience launching large-scale B2B and consumer-facing platforms that drive measurable revenue and operational efficiency. At HCCB I launched the Coke Buddy EB2B app achieving 80% outlet coverage, 5M+ orders, 50% of total sales volume, and doubled average order value through scalable architecture and real-time inventory sync.
I specialize in Agentic AI, Voice AI, and data-driven product strategies that accelerate growth and engagement while reducing costs and manual effort. I build and lead cross-functional teams to deliver future-ready, high-impact solutions—reducing stock-update latency, cutting ticket resolution times, preventing fraud, and expanding channels such as WhatsApp ordering for rural markets.
