## About

I'm a Product Manager with 10\+ years of experience building enterprise SaaS products across AI, EdTech, FinTech, and RegTech\. Over the course of my career, I've worked on products used by financial institutions, educators, and enterprise customers, translating complex business and regulatory requirements into intuitive, scalable software\. My experience spans the full product lifecycle—from product strategy and roadmap definition to customer discovery, prioritization, GTM planning, and launch\. Most recently at PowerSchool, I've been focused on bringing AI into enterprise workflows by building PowerBuddy for Special Programs—an AI\-powered assistant that helps educators create personalized student learning plans while meeting regulatory requirements\. This involved defining product strategy, shaping MVPs, refining LLM prompts, validating AI outputs, partnering with engineering and design, and working closely with product marketing to drive successful launches and adoption\. Previously at MetricStream, I owned roadmap initiatives across Enterprise Risk Management and Operational Risk Management products, delivering capabilities that improved adoption through conversational experiences, while collaborating closely with customers, sales, consulting, and cloud operations\. Earlier in my career, I worked on digital banking, wealth management, capital markets, and trading platforms, giving me a strong foundation in enterprise software and highly regulated industries\. The problems that excite me most sit at the intersection of AI, enterprise platforms, workflow automation, governance, and customer adoption\. I enjoy working with cross\-functional teams to turn ambiguous problems into products that deliver measurable business value and great user experiences\. Areas of interest: Enterprise AI • AI Platforms • Generative AI • Product Strategy • Platform Products • Enterprise SaaS • Workflow Automation • FinTech • Risk & Compliance • Data\-Driven Product Management
