I architect and lead global SaaS products that transform how people live, travel, and manage their health. With 13+ years in product management, I’ve driven digital innovation across Fortune 500s and fast-growth startups—cutting cycle time by 35%, boosting user engagement by 32%, and impacting more than 500,000 users worldwide. My expertise blends AI/ML, user experience, and business strategy in highly regulated industries like healthcare and automotive. As a relentless learner and inclusive leader, I empower cross-functional teams to turn complex requirements into scalable digital solutions. Recent highlights: Launched rOar PPM at Publicis Groupe for 60,000+ users, improved Aetna CVS DAU by 28%, and enabled Solera’s ML-powered automotive forecasting for 350 dealerships. If you share my curiosity about technology, human behavior, and making systems work better for all, let’s connect. I welcome partnership opportunities with innovators, recruiters, and global teams.
