I’m an AI-native Product Lead with 11 years building B2B enterprise platforms, including international experience across Germany, the UK, and Switzerland. I work in regulated, compliance-heavy domains—fintech, banking, and audit—where product decisions must be both user-centered and operationally safe.

At TartanHQ (HyperSync), I lead an API-first B2B fintech platform and use a prototype-first approach to de-risk product calls early. I prioritized AI-native roadmap themes over small-TAM features, accelerated activation (cutting days to minutes, unlocking enterprise growth), and secured CXO buy-in to re-architect from monolith to microservices to expand what the platform can enable. I also steered compliance with lean, consent-based, no-retention workflows to meet SOC2 and DPDP without slowing go-live.

Previously at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), I served as a Technical Product Manager (Manager) on a flagship US audit platform with 500+ Fortune 500 engagements. I stabilized reliability to unblock adoption (driving 400% growth and ~$100M annual efficiency value) and applied AI by shipping a hybrid rules- and-LLM engine to avoid inference overcost—saving 40,000+ person-hours/year and reshaping the platform’s value proposition.

Earlier in my career, I combined 0-to-1 discovery with delivery leadership across consultancy and large enterprises. At Optimal Virtual Employee (OVE), I partnered on a stalled EdTech product and shipped in 30 days, converting a churning client into a 6-month extension; at Infosys, I unblocked a bank MVP by restructuring ownership and parallelizing work, releasing in 6 months and lifting productivity 15%. At Accenture, I owned a German bank’s GDPR and MiFID review clearance and built recommendation-system components for advisory workflows across 1M+ conversations per year.
