What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Product Owner role in a collaborative, customer-focused organisation where I can lead cross-functional teams, apply Agile and data-driven practices, and deliver impactful products across markets, with focus on people

I combine strategic thinking with strong execution to deliver product outcomes across markets, focusing on continuous improvement and customer value.

I introduced a centralised initiative-tracking system and led the full setup and integration of Jira, which improved visibility, prioritisation and delivery performance. I also designed and implemented project management systems that increased team velocity and successfully supported high-profile global events and platform launches.

I oversee end-to-end delivery by writing user stories, managing sprint backlogs and leading Agile ceremonies while collaborating closely with SEO, content, data, design, LLMs and performance marketing teams across multiple European markets. I have managed 15+ projects simultaneously and driven cross-team coordination to maintain alignment and transparency.

I bring a pragmatic, outcome-focused approach to product ownership and team leadership, continuously refining workflows and tools to improve predictability and customer impact. I seek opportunities where I can lead product execution, mentor teams and drive measurable improvements in delivery and adoption.
