What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise product and AI-enabled platform strategy in a remote-first, outcomes-driven environment—partnering across engineering and GTM to ship measurable releases, realize value fast, and scale adoption through structured storytelling and change management.

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.
