What I'm looking for

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

I am a strategic and results-driven Principal Product Manager with 8 years of experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver innovative, user-centric solutions that drive business growth. My proven track record includes managing full product lifecycles, from ideation to launch, and iterating based on customer insights across both B2B and B2C environments.

At Walmart, I introduced a Workforce Scheduling System for Mexico locations, significantly enhancing store-level efficiency through labor optimization. I have formulated technology blueprints for forecasting and budgeting, and I oversee diverse program portfolios by establishing prioritization frameworks. My ability to translate operational needs into scalable tech solutions has enabled enterprise-wide alignment on business transformation goals.

In my previous role as a Senior Solutions Architect, I led the development of a centralized HR data platform and engineered a configurable benefits enrollment solution that empowered 1.4 million employees. My architectural leadership has standardized solution frameworks, improved system integration, and optimized business operations through advanced analytics frameworks.
