About

Product Manager – Growth & AI Products with 3.5+ years of experience building and scaling consumer products used by 8M+ monthly users. I specialise in the full PM lifecycle: from early-stage discovery and user research to writing crisp PRDs, owning the product roadmap, and driving go-to-market strategy. In my current role, I lead growth charters focused on conversion, retention, and monetisation. I’ve built 0→1 AI products (including voice agents and LLM-powered systems), while running structured A/B testing and experimentation frameworks to continuously optimise the user funnel- the kind that cut CAC by 23.8% and grew referral revenue from 2% to 18% of MRR. My approach combines deep discovery, data analysis, and rapid iteration to achieve product-market fit and unlock scalable growth loops. I work closely with cross-functional teams across engineering, design, data, and business to translate insights into execution- owning backlog prioritisation, defining clear PRDs, and aligning teams on outcome-driven product roadmaps. Whether it’s redesigning onboarding experiences, scaling referral ecosystems, or optimising checkout flows, I focus on solving high-impact problems that move core business metrics. I’m particularly excited about building AI-first products and leveraging emerging technologies to create step-change improvements in user experience and business outcomes. Always open to conversations around product strategy, growth, and building at scale.
