What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and innovation, where I can leverage my product ownership skills to drive impactful outcomes and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

With over a decade of experience in product and program leadership, I believe that transparency and collaboration are essential for successful delivery. My journey has been marked by a commitment to aligning cross-functional teams and fostering stakeholder trust, ensuring that miscommunication does not derail progress. I focus on driving clarity and delivering consistent value through agile, outcome-driven execution.

In my role as a Product Owner at Visteon India, I led the end-to-end delivery of the Navigation Domain, managing UI/UX alignment and technical architecture across multiple high-profile programs. My proactive approach to stakeholder engagement and risk management has resulted in delivering critical product features ahead of schedule and significantly reducing onboarding time for external partners. I am passionate about mentoring teams and creating an environment that encourages continuous improvement and delivery excellence.

As a co-founder of Hilfe_me, a mental health platform, I successfully guided the product from concept to deployment, focusing on reducing stigma and improving access to psychological support in India. My diverse experience in both product ownership and software engineering has equipped me with a unique perspective on the product lifecycle, enabling me to drive successful outcomes in various domains.
