Sr Staff Product Manager @ GE Vernova | Scaled an AI Product from Idea to CI/CD, Saved $400k+ Annually | Product Strategy, Roadmapping & AI-Driven Enterprise Platforms | SAFe® PM/PO

About

I turn messy internal processes into AI-powered products that save six figures a year — and I can show you the math. Over 13+ years in product management and enterprise software, I've owned the full lifecycle for platforms at GE Vernova and GE Power: financial processes, portfolio risk monitoring, and quality automation. A few numbers that matter more than my title: → Automated a manual reconciliation process, saving 5000+ NVA hours/year and freeing 30% of end-user capacity → Negotiated an AI vendor deal from >50% reduction in cost while keeping the roadmap intact → Delivered $400K+ in annual savings through Lean/Gemba-driven process redesign → Built and led teams up to 15 people, with 2 direct reports promoted into GE Vernova's Leadership Development Program I run product the way engineers run systems: instrument it, measure it, then fix what's actually broken — not what looks broken. SAFe-certified, fluent in Azure DevOps, and always glad to compare notes with other product folks working at the intersection of AI and enterprise platforms. Open to mentoring early-career PMs and expanding my network.
