What I'm looking for

I seek senior product roles in SaaS/data-driven companies where I can lead roadmap strategy, scale products, integrate ML, and drive revenue and efficiency gains.

I am a Senior Product Manager with 15+ years building SaaS data and analytics platforms for the media and advertising industry. I own strategy and roadmap for a $10M+ pricing intelligence portfolio and have a proven record delivering $2M+ ARR growth and increasing user engagement.

At Guideline Data Solutions / SQAD, I scaled a pricing intelligence platform to 500+ customers and 8,000+ users, launched three new pricing datasets, and reduced operating costs 70% through platform modernization. I partner closely with Data Science to integrate machine-learning pricing models that improve benchmark accuracy and competitive differentiation.

I lead cross-functional Agile teams, drive PI planning, and translate customer discovery into actionable roadmap initiatives. I focus on measurable outcomes—revenue growth, engagement, and operational efficiency—while maintaining enterprise-grade data reliability for agency decision-making.
