AI Product Manager shipping compliant AI products in regulated spaces—turning messy data into actionable customer experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a PM with 5+ years shipping AI products in regulated verticals, focused on turning messy inputs into compliant, high-impact workflows. At Liferaft, I led AI triage at millions of posts/day, and at TH Financial I launched compliant payment features. I’m excited to turn nesto's Maestro AI into the standard for Canadian mortgage underwriting.
At Liferaft, I led AI product development across three engineering pods, delivering products that drove $700K in ARR. I shipped OCR-powered search that reduced alert noise by up to 30%, and designed a resilient AI triage pipeline with 98% real-time uptime, including graceful UX degradation under 5× volume spikes. I also operationalized domain expertise into structured expert advisory loops, cutting cross-functional feedback cycles 3×, and ran customer interviews to validate initiatives and shape the roadmap.
Earlier, I helped launch Tims Credit Card in a regulated financial environment in 4 months, navigating compliance to drive 48% conversion growth. I built a forecasting tool using Amplitude and SQL to lift application conversion from 15% to 24.4%, and integrated an ADA chatbot into the credit card application funnel—improving conversion by 7% while reducing support tickets by 4%. I’ve also scaled product outcomes through customer-focused CRM personalization, optimized delivery integrations, and co-founded AI-enabled marketplaces and Shopify B2B platforms.
