What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

I am an experienced product leader with over 13 years of expertise in delivering consumer-facing technology products. My journey has taken me through various roles, from technical founder to director, where I have successfully managed the end-to-end delivery of numerous products and projects. I thrive in dynamic environments, whether in startups or large organizations, and have a proven track record of driving significant growth and innovation.

One of my key achievements includes delivering product strategies for approximately 40 mobile applications, resulting in an annual recurring revenue of over $60 million and a monthly active user base of around 5 million. I have a deep understanding of generative AI and have successfully deployed features that not only reached the top of the App Store but also demonstrated strong product-market fit. My focus on data-driven decision-making has led to remarkable growth in user retention and engagement metrics.

As a passionate advocate for cross-functional collaboration, I have fostered a culture of experimentation and value delivery within my teams. My experience includes representing companies at international conferences, where I have built a global network and shared insights on emerging technologies. I am committed to continuous learning and innovation, and I look forward to leveraging my skills to drive impactful product initiatives.
