Results-driven Product Manager with expertise in enterprise solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Product Manager with over 4 years of experience in delivering enterprise solutions that have successfully eliminated $40 million in waste and secured over $7 million in funding across the manufacturing and healthcare sectors. My career is marked by a proven ability to lead cross-functional teams, align stakeholders, and develop go-to-market strategies that translate complex technical requirements into actionable business strategies.
At General Motors, I launched a defect mapping platform that not only eliminated significant waste but also improved manufacturing throughput by 12%. My role involved securing additional funding and enhancing product launch readiness through strategic insights presented to C-suite executives. I have also developed comprehensive product roadmaps and spearheaded initiatives that resulted in substantial automation and efficiency improvements across various operations.
My previous experience as a Business Analyst and a Marketing Consultant has equipped me with a unique perspective on user-focused design and market entry strategies. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical thinking and strategic planning capabilities, and I am eager to leverage my skills to drive product innovation and user-centric solutions at a growth-focused technology company.
