What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a dynamic role as a Product or Project Manager at an innovative company where I can leverage my experience to drive strategic product vision, lead agile teams, and deliver exceptional user-focused solutions. I'm particularly interested in roles offering opportunities for growth, collaboration, and meaningful impact.

I'm a seasoned Product Leader and Product Owner with over 14 years of experience delivering impactful digital products in B2C, B2B SaaS, Fintech, Mobile Apps, CRM, ERP, Healthcare, and E-commerce domains. Throughout my career, I've successfully launched and scaled products, including my own venture, Tender Talks (an engaging conversational card game app), and significant projects for global clients like GoDaddy Payments, General Electric, McKesson, Prym, Pfizer, Ericsson, and the Danish Superleague.

At Cider Consulting, I led the PMO and achieved a 95% on-time project delivery rate while managing a portfolio of over 20 projects. I also standardized project management processes, enhancing team efficiency by 30%, and mentored a team of project managers, resulting in a 25% increase in client satisfaction scores.

As the founder and CEO of Zorilane, I executed strategies leading to a 30% increase in market share within three years, managed all business aspects ensuring 100% compliance, and successfully launched products that boosted user engagement by 40%.

At GoDaddy, I drove product strategies using data analysis and market insights, significantly increasing customer adoption of payment solutions by 30%. Additionally, I enhanced transaction capabilities by 25% through the launch of key payment solutions.

Currently, I'm enhancing HotSheet CRM with innovative features.

Outside my professional life, I'm passionate about street photography, wellness practices such as meditation and fitness, and continuous personal growth through coaching and mentoring.

I'm looking forward to connecting with innovative companies where I can contribute my extensive product and project management experience and passion for creating meaningful user-centric products.
