About

Why does the software meant to take care of employees so often feel like it was built by people who've never met one? That question is what gets me out of bed. And it's what I've been trying to answer — one product at a time — across 5+ years in HR Tech SaaS. I'm a Product Manager at greytHR, where I own the employee lifecycle suite — onboarding, core HRMS, and performance management. My job is to sit at the intersection of what HR teams desperately need and what engineering can actually build, and make something that feels like neither a compromise nor a chore. Some things I've shipped that I'm genuinely proud of: → Launched a 0→1 Performance Management System — Goals, Reviews, 360 Feedback → Built 'Request Hub', a workflow platform that replaced the most chaotic thing in HR ops: approval emails. Now automating 500–2,000 requests/month with ~20% customer adoption at launch → Currently leading an Agentic AI-powered overhaul of our onboarding module — rethinking what it means for a new hire's first days to actually feel supported, not just processed Before greytHR, I spent 3+ years at Entomo — an HR Tech SaaS platform for performance and talent intelligence — where I led the build of an analytics BI module, drove a full homepage revamp, and learned that the best product decisions come from relentlessly asking why before touching what. I work best when I'm close to the customer, deep in the data, and arguing (respectfully) for the right prioritisation call in a room full of smart people. If you're building something ambitious in HR Tech — or just want to geek out about where AI is taking workforce products — I'm always up for that conversation.
