Product Manager improving trading platforms with direct indexing and compliance-first delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Product Manager with deep roots in trading operations, platform development, and financial technology. At AssetMark, I oversaw the launch of 8 direct indexing products—supporting onboarding of $12B+ in client assets—and I led multi-factor authentication (MFA) to fortify security of $139B+ in platform assets while achieving compliance ahead of regulatory deadlines.
I bring an analytical, service-first approach to translating advisor feedback, platform analytics, and regulatory requirements into actionable product strategies. I’ve led end-to-end product lifecycles (concept to launch), wrote 100s of user stories, and continuously improved usability and adoption through performance metrics, while also serving as a subject matter expert for trading tools and process improvements across regulated environments.
