About

Product Manager with 10+ years of experience across Sony Pictures, Fox Networks, EY and various early-stage ventures. Proven track record in scaling products across all stages (0-1 to 10-100), as well as building in both B2C and B2B settings. At Sony LIV (30M+ MAU OTT platform), led Growth Product Management, driving a 20% improvement in payment success rates and a 15% reduction in churn. Previously launched a 0-to-1 streaming app for Fox Networks (which garnered 600k+ installs within a quarter of its launch) and a B2B SaaS POS system for global VR arcades for Survios (post Series C VR games studio backed by MGM and Lux Capital). Entrepreneurial at heart (two-time Founder), I combine a Management Consultant's "rigor" and "attention to detail" (ex-EY) with a Silicon Valley mindset to drive complex technical projects to completion with a stable P&L and EBITDA.
