What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can utilize my product management skills to drive impactful projects and contribute to a dynamic team.

I am a strategic, data-driven professional with over 8 years of experience in manufacturing and FMCG, now transitioning into Product Management. I’ve led cross-functional teams in launching over 8 SKUs, optimizing operations using Six Sigma, and enhancing compliance and customer satisfaction. Recently, I completed IBM’s Product Manager course to strengthen my skills in product strategy, user-centric design, and agile delivery.

My background includes a strong foundation in quality systems, risk management, and stakeholder collaboration. As an Environment, Health and Safety Officer at Dufil Prima Foods, I led the strategic rollout of QEHS initiatives, aligning operations with international standards and driving factory-wide excellence. I managed cross-functional safety programs and oversaw a significant greenfield construction project, demonstrating effective project and risk management.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on delivering real value through innovative product solutions and operational excellence. I am eager to leverage my experience and skills in a product management role that allows me to contribute to impactful projects and drive business success.
