What I'm looking for
I am an optimistic head of product with six years of experience in developing innovative solutions and optimal processes.

I have an eye for detail and a commitment to delivering excellence, always aiming to balance quality and speed while assessing immediate needs and laying a foundation for long-term product vision.
At HQ Rental Software, I have successfully led a team of nine, overseeing development planning and product roadmap execution. My leadership has resulted in a significant increase in overall average development effort, and I have designed internal process protocols that have improved team organization and efficiency. My role has also involved integrating new product solutions and managing upgrades, ensuring that our offerings remain competitive and effective.
Throughout my career, I have focused on maximizing fleet utilization, reducing operational costs, and enhancing user experience through product enhancements based on usability testing. My collaborative approach with CTOs, CEOs, and other stakeholders has driven significant improvements in team productivity and accountability, ultimately contributing to the success of our product initiatives.
