Robin Carroll
@robincarroll
I’m a product leader enabling AI-enabled digital lending and enterprise automation through customer-first strategy.
What I'm looking for
I bring 12+ years in Product Management and more than 20 years in financial services, with transformation as the consistent thread throughout my career. I focus on product strategy and execution across the full lifecycle—from customer discovery and roadmap development to launch and optimization.
In my current role as a Senior Product Manager at Continuous, I define product strategy and roadmaps for OpCon Core Automate and guide an AI-first approach for a next-generation enterprise automation platform. I lead modernization across workflow automation, core banking integrations, platform resiliency, and enterprise security, including TLS 1.3 modernization, while developing business cases such as AI-enabled ACH Fraud Mitigation to reduce operational risk.
Previously, I drove KPI- and customer-led growth as a Digital Product / Program Manager IV at Charter Communications, including KPI analysis for product-market fit, Salesforce and Pega integration initiatives, and measurable outcomes like 15% revenue increase post-launch and 50% churn reduction. Earlier at PwC Digital Technology Services and Lender Price, I supported go-to-market strategies, optimized adoption through product analytics, and delivered data-driven recommendations and API-driven mortgage platform improvements.
Across leadership roles—from Product Management to Director of Lending & Product Management—I’ve built trusted relationships, aligned cross-functional teams, and coached high-performing talent to deliver enterprise capabilities. I enjoy bringing clarity to ambiguity and helping organizations confidently move from where they are today to where they want to be tomorrow.
