## Headline

Product Manager \| AI/LLM & B2B SaaS \| 0→1 Products, Data Platforms, Growth & Product Strategy

## About

Product Manager with 5\+ years of experience building and scaling B2B SaaS products across AI/data infrastructure, user engagement, growth, monetization, and platform UX\. At Tracxn, I currently own product roadmaps for parts of a global private\-market intelligence platform used by 6,500\+ users across 2,350\+ customer accounts in 50\+ countries\. My work spans both customer\-facing products and the underlying data systems that power them\. Over the last few years, I’ve led the development of production LLM systems for regulatory data extraction, company enrichment, and news intelligence; taken a Company Follow product from 0→1 to 66% MAU adoption; helped unlock a new paid customer tier by solving free\-tier abuse; and built product and evaluation frameworks for deploying LLMs reliably at scale\. I’m particularly interested in products where AI is used to solve real workflow problems rather than added as a feature layer — combining model capabilities, data, UX, experimentation, and business context to build products customers repeatedly use\. Alongside individual product ownership, I currently manage and mentor a team of 4 APMs and work closely with engineering, data, design, and business teams from discovery through launch and iteration\. Areas I work across: AI/LLM Products • B2B SaaS • Product Strategy & Roadmapping • 0→1 Product Development • Data Products • Product Analytics • User Discovery • Experimentation • Platform UX • Growth & Monetization
