My expertise lies in combining Agile methodologies, data analytics, and customer insights to drive measurable innovation and achieve significant business outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have successfully launched AI-powered applications, resulting in a 35% increase in user engagement at Delta Airlines, and delivered $1.2 million in savings through strategic migrations at ICANN. My educational background includes an MBA from Providence College and executive certifications from MIT and Harvard, which have equipped me with the skills to navigate complex product landscapes and foster stakeholder satisfaction.

I am passionate about utilizing my technical skills in tools like Tableau and Salesforce, along with my strategic acumen in product lifecycle management and regulatory compliance, to create impactful solutions that resonate with users and drive organizational success.
