Associate Director – Product Management | AI-Powered Search & Usage Analytics Platforms | Financial Tech Leader

About

I’ve spent the last 14+ years building and scaling enterprise data platforms, but what really gets me excited is solving a classic problem: How do we help users find exactly what they need when they're drowning in data? Right now, as an Associate Director of Product Management at S&P Global, I lead a fantastic 12-member product organization across 9 Scrum teams. Our mission is to completely transform the search and analytics experience for global financial clients. I love bridging the gap between deep data engineering and intuitive human experiences, and I’ve been fortunate enough to scale our delivery velocity by 50% along the way. 🤖 Making Search Intelligent (AI & GenAI) I focus heavily on moving beyond basic keyword matching into truly predictive, contextual discovery. My day-to-day involves partnering closely with Data Science and Engineering to drive product strategy across: Agentic AI & GenAI: Designing autonomous workflows that don't just find documents, but synthesize insights for complex financial personas. Semantic Search & NLP: Implementing intent-driven processing, intelligent ranking, and personalized context. Multimodal Inputs: Building experiences that let users interact naturally with massive enterprise data repositories. 📊 Strategy Backed by Hard Numbers I don't believe in guessing what features work. I am heavily data-driven and love diving into SQL, Power BI, Big Query, and Heap to track exact clickstream patterns, cohort funnels, and feature adoption. By connecting user telemetry directly to commercial health and Net Revenue Retention (NRR), my team has been able to boost overall feature adoption by 40%. 📩 Let's Connect Whether you want to exchange ideas on Agentic AI, discuss data-driven product strategies, or talk about the future of enterprise search, I'd love to hear from you.
