What I'm looking for

I seek product leadership roles in high-growth fintech where I can drive payments or digital banking product strategy, measurable revenue impact, and cross-functional delivery.

I am a Senior Product Manager with 9+ years building and scaling digital banking, payment, and B2C/B2B financial products, known for delivering measurable revenue impact and improving operational efficiency. I combine strong technical acumen, data-driven decision-making, and roadmap ownership to lead cross-functional teams from discovery to launch.

I have driven major improvements such as 2.5× monthly bill transactions in seven months, 98%+ bill payment success rates, and significant revenue growth across products by implementing resilient payment systems, analytics frameworks, and UX optimizations. I prioritize stakeholder alignment, experimentation, and pragmatic product strategy in high-growth environments.
