What I'm looking for

I seek a senior product role where I can lead cross-functional teams, drive product strategy and discovery, and deliver measurable business impact in consumer-facing or enterprise platforms.

I am a Strategic Product Manager with over 6 years of experience delivering digital transformation across BFSI, e-commerce, and automotive sectors. I specialize in architecting headless CMS and micro-frontend platforms that reduce onboarding time and increase revenue.

At Cognizant I led a customized headless CMS and micro-frontend initiative, improving product discoverability (22% MAU increase), cutting onboarding by ~30%, and increasing platform-driven content to 100%. I have launched mobile pilots, refreshed web stores to boost conversion, and integrated middleware and microservices for omni-channel retail.

I mentor product teams, run continuous discovery pipelines, and collaborate with architects and engineering leads to deliver performant, scalable solutions. I seek roles where I can drive product strategy, cross-functional alignment, and measurable business outcomes.
