Portfolio Product Manager blending engineering depth with customer-focused product innovation.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Portfolio Product Manager driven by solving complex and impactful customer problems. I have over 8 years of combined industry experience, with a focus on customer-facing engineering before progressing into product management.
At Hexagon, I own the vision, roadmaps, and strategy for a +$60m USD portfolio of GNSS anti-jam technology products across hardware and software. I lead cross-functional teams spanning engineering, innovation, marketing, sales, UX, operations, manufacturing, and supply chain to bring new product lines to market and open new target markets.
I also drive measurable business outcomes through product execution and customer alignment—improving time-to-profitability with a parallel prototype demo program, increasing 2026 year-over-year portfolio sales by +110%, and validating projected 2027 revenues through increased customer input during development.
Previously as an Applications Specialist, I led problem identification, product design, and cost/benefit analysis within cross-functional teams, improving internal time efficiency by 30% for export-controlled engineering support. My engineering background also guides how I approach testing, requirements, technical stakeholder communication, and practical product innovation.
