About

As a Senior Product Manager, I lead product strategy and growth across digital experiences that help students make better education and career decisions. I work at the intersection of user needs, business outcomes, and technology, turning complex problems into simple, scalable product experiences. My approach combines product discovery, data-driven decision-making, customer insight, experimentation, and growth strategy. I have experience driving products across the full lifecycle, from defining product vision and strategy to discovery, prioritisation, execution, optimisation, and measuring business impact. My areas of focus include user engagement, organic growth, conversion, personalization, AI-powered experiences, and product-led growth. I enjoy solving ambiguous problems, aligning cross-functional teams around a clear product direction, and building experiences that create measurable value for users, businesses, and clients. I’m particularly interested in the evolving intersection of AI, product strategy, and decision intelligence, and how technology can make complex journeys simpler and more relevant for users.
