What I'm looking for

I seek a product-focused role where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive growth through data-informed strategies, and deliver measurable product and user impact.

I am a product manager and growth marketing strategist with 5+ years building products, leading digital campaigns, and guiding cross-functional teams to deliver measurable results. I specialize in turning user research and data into product decisions that improve activation, conversion, and retention.

I've led end-to-end product lifecycles, delivering creator-facing tools to production within months, and improved release velocity by 42% through agile practices and sprint planning in Jira. My growth work has expanded pre-launch communities by 250% with zero ad spend and increased lead conversion up to 3x using A/B testing and conversion optimisation.

I collaborate closely with design, engineering, and marketing teams, using tools like Figma, Webflow, Google Analytics, and Notion to align product roadmaps with business KPIs and customer outcomes. I am results-focused, data-informed, and committed to building products people love.
