About

I’m a product leader with 18+ years of experience (10+ in product management) driving global SaaS platforms across Payroll, HCM, and AI automation. I specialize in scaling complex systems into unified, high-impact platforms that blend data, design, and compliance. At PeopleHum, I led the launch of our global payroll platform, integrating it with Talent, Learning, and Performance to reposition the product as a full-suite HCM platform, doubling our enterprise clients and users. Earlier at ADP, I led the migration of 700 enterprise clients from legacy products to the iHCM platform, modernizing architecture and global compliance. I’m passionate about building data- and AI-driven platforms that simplify global workforce management while empowering product teams to deliver measurable adoption, retention, and business outcomes.
