What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, embraces agile methodologies, and offers opportunities for professional growth within a collaborative team environment.

I am a seasoned Product Manager with over 10 years of experience, including 6 years dedicated to product leadership in the fintech sector. My career has been marked by a proven track record of driving digital innovation and optimizing operational workflows to deliver high-impact products across global teams. I excel at bridging business needs with technical execution, particularly in areas such as Open Banking, API integrations, and agile delivery.

Currently, I lead product initiatives at Avertra Corp, focusing on enterprise utility and telecom clients. My role involves overseeing large-scale banking application projects and revamping in-house tools to enhance scalability and efficiency. Previously, at Equiti Group, I managed cross-functional teams and implemented enterprise-grade risk and operational tools that significantly improved accuracy and response times, contributing to substantial revenue increases. My experience also includes conducting macroeconomic research and financial analysis, which has enriched my understanding of the financial landscape.
