About

I am a Senior Product Manager / Product Leader with 15+ years of experience building and modernizing enterprise SaaS, API-based platforms, and business-critical products across TravelTech, Hospitality, Automotive, CRM, BI, and digital commerce domains. I specialize in transforming complex business problems into scalable product solutions — from product discovery, roadmap definition, requirements strategy, stakeholder alignment, API platform design, prioritization, Agile execution, UAT, launch readiness, and post-release adoption. At Sabre, I worked on next-generation product platforms for car supply and distribution APIs, and previously led migration of an ad-distribution product from legacy architecture to a modern API-based platform. At CDK Global, I contributed to the modernization of a vehicle registration product for California, working across product, technology, and business stakeholders. My strength lies in connecting business strategy, customer needs, platform capabilities, and execution teams. I bring hands-on experience in product lifecycle management, Agile delivery, stakeholder management, business process redesign, user story mapping, API products, CRM/ERP/BI systems, and product modernization. I am now focused on Senior Product Manager, AI Product Manager, Platform Product Manager, and Product Strategy roles, especially where companies are building AI-enabled workflows, automation, intelligent platforms, API ecosystems, or enterprise SaaS products. Currently building deeper expertise in AI Product Management, GenAI workflows, LLM-based user experiences, AI automation, and responsible AI product strategy, with a focus on applying AI to enterprise SaaS, workflow automation, customer support, travel platforms, and business process optimization.
