Dynamic business leader with expertise in strategy and product management.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic business leader with over 9 years of experience in strategy, product management, and innovation. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to scale operations and lead cross-functional teams to drive high-impact results. Notably, I successfully scaled a SaaS platform from concept to 20,000 users and 250 partner merchants at Slash Discounts, where I currently serve as Founder and Head of Product. My data-driven go-to-market strategies have achieved remarkable growth, including a 107% month-over-month GMV increase with zero ad spend.
Prior to my current role, I was the CEO and Head of Product at Local Hype, where I led the company from zero to $250K in annual recurring revenue and managed the entire M&A deal that resulted in a successful acquisition. My experience also includes significant roles in marketing and product development, where I have consistently delivered results, such as a 5x growth in organic leads and a 150% increase in client referrals. I am currently pursuing an Executive MBA from IIM-V, further honing my analytical, strategic, and leadership capabilities.
