What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for leadership and strategic impact.

I am an accomplished product leader with over a decade of experience in building, scaling, and optimizing B2B SaaS and B2C products across diverse industries, including AI, Healthcare, and Fintech & Web3. My proven track record includes leading cross-functional teams and driving product strategies that align with business objectives, resulting in significant operational cost reductions and high OKR achievement rates.

At VirtuE, I defined and executed the product strategy for our innovative Affective Computing Product Line, successfully transitioning our product to a Platform-as-a-Service model. My experience at Vineti involved managing the Supply Chain Orchestration Product Line, where I restructured release processes to enhance delivery speed and cross-functional collaboration. I am passionate about fostering high-performing product organizations and leveraging data-driven decision-making to inform long-term strategies.
