What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, offering opportunities for growth and impactful product development.

With over a decade of experience in global product management, I have successfully led the strategy, development, and launch of market-leading products across diverse industries and regions. My career is defined by a deep commitment to customer value, operational excellence, and cross-functional collaboration. I specialize in managing complex product portfolios and navigating international markets, ensuring alignment among global teams around a shared product vision.

Currently, as a Product Manager at Chisquare Labs, I actively participate in planning activities for healthcare products and lead the development team through all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) using Agile methodologies. My inquisitive and innovative mindset allows me to recognize opportunities to create distinctive value, driving efficiency and delivering measurable business outcomes.

Previously, I served as a Product Owner at IBS Software, where I transformed customer and business problems into solutions for the iFly Loyalty SaaS Product. My experience includes defining user requirements, managing backlogs, and leading product features while ensuring quality reviews with stakeholders. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in product management, business analysis, and digital transformation to drive impactful results.
