I build AI, SaaS, and regulated technology products from concept to scalable commercial outcomes.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead AI, SaaS, or regulated technology products where I can turn complex governance, compliance, and technical challenges into scalable customer and commercial outcomes.

I'm leading product vision, roadmap, and customer strategy at Mind Guard for an AI-powered platform that helps SMBs build, deploy, and manage AI agents. I’m taking the product from concept to closed beta while turning design-partner feedback into scalable workflows for teams without internal AI expertise.

Previously, I built an AI-powered monitoring platform at Fighting Online Antisemitism that tracks harmful content across five major social platforms, flags thousands of incidents monthly, and achieved a 10–20% removal rate through systematic reporting. At Fornova, I led an AI/ML ROAS prediction platform through a Hilton APAC pilot that improved return on ad spend by 60–200% within 6–12 months.

Across finleap, Samanage, Strauss Water, Amdocs, Destinator, and Comverse, I’ve built and scaled products spanning banking, ITSM SaaS, IoT, mobile payments, navigation, and telecom. I translate complex technology and governance requirements—including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 Type II—into products that open regulated markets and create commercial advantage.
