What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end, data-driven product strategy—experimentation, growth, and monetisation—partnering tightly with engineering, design, and data to ship measurable outcomes and iterate fast in high-scale gaming platforms.

I’m a Senior Product Manager with 5+ years of product management experience and 9+ years in analytics and risk systems in the gaming and fantasy sports industry. I specialize in data-driven product strategy, A/B experimentation, user engagement, retention, and monetisation optimisation—always tying decisions to measurable business outcomes.

In recent roles, I’ve led product work from discovery through roadmap planning, experimentation, stakeholder management, and go-to-market execution. I improved Week-4 user retention by 12% through structured A/B testing on onboarding flows, delivered a 32% uplift in user engagement by owning the quest system end-to-end, and grew revenue by 17% via data-led paywall monetisation and pricing experimentation.

I also build growth engines that scale. I revamped referral programmes to increase referral-driven sign-up share from 3% to 15%, and integrated AI-driven loyalty programmes with partners to achieve an 11% increase in daily active user engagement. I’ve driven analytics adoption and governance as well, including Amplitude platform adoption with vendor negotiations and stakeholder demos.

My foundation in analytics and risk helps me protect and grow responsibly. I reduced acquisition cost by 6% and fraudulent marketing spend by 40% through fraud detection models (including Device ID Blocking), and I’ve implemented risk execution and Responsible Play practices to identify high-risk users. I enjoy collaborating across engineering, design, data science, and business teams—and I’ve even developed GenAI solutions to automate complex reporting workflows.
