Product Manager with 17+ years shaping data-driven AI and payments platforms from roadmap to delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m an enthusiastic, detail-oriented Product Manager with 17+ years of experience spanning generative AI, banking/insurance, and payments (card based and digital). I consistently connect “what” to measurable business outcomes—turning strategy into roadmaps, epics, and stories that delivery teams can ship with confidence.
In my work as a Technical Product/Project Consultant at Microsoft, I led capacity optimization initiatives using Microsoft Azure, improving scalability and system efficiency by up to 30%. I also rolled out Microsoft Copilot across product lines, coordinating cross-functional execution to achieve a 25% increase in user productivity, and delivered AI solutions with Azure Machine Learning and Power BI that reduced manual intervention by 40%.
As a Technical Business Analysis Manager (Deloitte Project), I head the Tera team and bring strong requirements elicitation, complex analysis, and lifecycle traceability. I use ML and NLP to inform predictive analytics and document processing, mapping user journeys, refining requirements, and supporting development and UAT through clear change control and documentation.
Later roles sharpened my leadership and product vision: as Head: Product Management at Leena AI, I set KPIs, shaped analytics-heavy experiences, built epics/stories and release materials, and drove GTM and adoption. As Principal Product Manager at Zycus (Ultria CLM), I led a team of 4 product owners, modernized the CLM product experience, and used NLP/algorithmic learning to assist contract drafting and improve clause-risk insights—always aiming to reduce complexity and human error with data-driven decision making.
