What I'm looking for

I'm seeking Product or Project Manager roles at international, remote-first companies offering genuine flexibility, positive culture, autonomy, and opportunities to lead cross-functional teams and scale SaaS products.

I am a versatile technology leader with deep experience in product management, project delivery, and engineering management, built over many years working in distributed and international teams. I have repeatedly led cross-functional squads to meet aggressive SaaS business goals while maintaining team cohesion in fully remote setups.

At Empathy.co I delivered international projects (notably Kroger) and managed full lifecycles, risks, and stakeholder communications while defining product features and maximizing adoption with global customers. I coach Agile practices (Scrum, Kanban), mentor engineering talent, and drive process improvements that increase quality, efficiency, and retention.

I hold multiple Agile and product certifications and bring hands-on technical experience from earlier roles (Documentum, Java, Web Services) that helps me bridge product, engineering, and client requirements. I am seeking Product or Project Manager roles at international, remote-first companies with strong cultures and genuine flexibility.
