Enterprise product leader using AI and digital transformation to drive B2B SaaS growth and measurable outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m an enterprise product and program leader with 12+ years driving measurable outcomes across B2B SaaS, AI-enabled platforms, and digital transformation programs. At IBM, I serve as a Product Manager and strategic lead for a $50M+ enterprise PaaS/SaaS portfolio, defining vision, roadmap, PRDs, and delivery management for 500+ global customers, and shipping 12+ quarterly releases through disciplined Agile execution. I’ve generated $100M+ in qualified sales pipeline and $15M+ in upsell revenue by combining product strategy, structured stakeholder management, and executive storytelling—backed by an OKR framework that improved feature delivery velocity by 30%.
I also specialize in AI adoption at enterprise scale: I designed an AI-powered Warranty Advisor using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and LLM evaluation frameworks, and I operated within IBM’s Product Transformation Office to evaluate, deploy, and operationalize AI tools like agentic workflows and co-pilot integrations. I’ve led change management and continuous improvement programs to drive organizational readiness, and I’ve built ESG value realization through enterprise architecture for MAS-Envizi integration enabling Scope 1 and 2 emissions tracking and ESG compliance reporting. Earlier, at EY and Cognizant, I led supply chain and digital transformation consulting and enterprise requirements gathering/solution design, grounding my work in structured business analysis and process improvement from day one.
