Product Manager building AI-native financial platforms that simplify payments, automate AP/AR, and modernize enterprise integrations.
What I'm looking for
I enjoy building products where finance, technology, and AI come together to solve real business problems. I’m a Product Manager with 12+ years of professional experience spanning FinTech product management and accounting, including 5+ years building AI-native financial platforms and 7+ years in accounting and financial operations.
At Forward AI, I own product strategy across Forwardly and Precise—AI-native platforms focused on business payments, financial operations, and financial intelligence. I lead product strategy, roadmap, and platform evolution while expanding capabilities across business payments, AP/AR automation, cash flow management, invoice lifecycle, banking connectivity, and accounting integrations.
I turn complex financial workflows into scalable, customer-centric platform capabilities by working closely with Engineering, Design, Compliance, Customer Success, and business stakeholders. I’ve architected a canonical financial data model supporting 15+ ERP and accounting ecosystems and led integrations with QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Xero, Zoho Books, and FreshBooks.
My approach is grounded in real operational workflows and financial best practices from my accounting background supporting clients across the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. Generative AI is now a core part of my workflow—accelerating product discovery, competitive research, solution design, UX ideation, technical documentation, and cross-functional collaboration—while keeping customer value and sound product judgment at the center of every decision.
