I’m a product leader with over a decade of experience scaling digital products across fintech, gaming, and B2B commerce, leading 0→1 launches, and owning multi-million-dollar P&Ls. I’ve scaled portfolios to $500K AUM and $28M ARR, achieving measurable outcomes such as 4× revenue growth, 43% retention uplift, and 10× monetization through data-driven strategy, behavioral segmentation, and cross-market expansion. Across my roles at Gameberry Labs, Bzaar (Lightspeed-backed), and Thrive, I’ve led 10+ member cross-functional organizations (Product, Design, Engineering, Analytics), delivering high-impact features across US, MENA, and Indian markets. My leadership philosophy centers on three principles: * Clarity over control: Empowering teams through context, not micro-management. * Experimentation as culture: Scaling decision-making through frameworks, not approvals. * Outcomes over output: Measuring success by business impact, not velocity. I’m passionate about building global-scale, data-driven, and profitable digital products that blend user delight with business rigor. Always open to connecting with fellow product leaders, founders, and teams building for growth, monetization, and market expansion.
