What I'm looking for

I’m seeking product leadership roles where I can build AI-driven B2B/fintech products, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable growth and operational efficiency.

I am a Senior Product Manager with 8+ years leading cross-functional teams to launch customer-centric B2B and fintech solutions across Europe and Australia, with a strong emphasis on AI and machine-learning applications.

I have delivered measurable outcomes including a 30x acceleration in lead time, a 1200% increase in deal capacity from an ML risk engine, and operational cost reductions through automation and process redesign.

I combine product strategy, data-driven decision making, and stakeholder management to drive product-led transformation, and I hold certifications in AI Product Management, Digital Transformation, and Google Analytics.
