What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and offers opportunities for growth and impact.

I am a seasoned product leader with over a decade of experience in launching successful products and building high-performing product organizations. My expertise lies in aligning user needs with business objectives through data-informed decision-making, ongoing discovery, and early validation. I specialize in product strategy, performance-driven development, and optimizing user experiences to generate measurable business growth.

In my recent role as VP of Product at Raketech, I successfully led the Affiliation Marketing portfolio, overseeing key functions such as Product, UX, UI, Data Analytics, and SEO. I transitioned the organization to a performance-driven mindset by aligning product strategy with measurable business outcomes and fostering a collaborative environment for cross-functional teams. My previous experiences include leading web acquisition strategies at Funnel and serving as Chief Product Officer at FanTeam, where I developed competitive product strategies that drove significant growth.
