About

"Build something 100 people love, not something 1 million people kind of like"– Brian Chesky My 12-year journey in tech began with one question: What makes people fall in love with a product? That question has taken me from debugging Kindle devices to scaling AI-first SaaS platforms that generate $1M+ in ARR and impact millions of users worldwide. As a Principal Product Manager, I’ve led products from zero to market-fit with clarity, speed, and soul. At Amazon, I helped scale digital lending and Kindle platforms to 12+ countries, driving $20M+ in GMV and transforming how millions read, pay, and engage. At Nova, I turned a restaurant ERP from an early idea into a highly loved product (NPS 90+) that boosted profits by 10% per store — all powered by AI, data insights, and a deep understanding of customer pain points. What sets me apart? A blend of strategic vision, tactical execution, and inclusive leadership. I build high-performing teams, coach future PMs, align stakeholders on bold bets, and bring calm clarity to chaos. Whether crafting a go-to-market roadmap, leading A/B experiments, or presenting to the C- suite, I focus on outcomes that matter. I'm energized by 0→1 product journeys, AI-powered growth, and crafting digital experiences that feel personal, purposeful, and profitable.
