## Headline

Sr Product Manager @ SixT \| AI product as hobby

## About

I've spent the last decade building consumer products across mobility \(SIXT, Ola\), real\-money gaming \(A23\), and ed\-tech — scaling conversion, retention, and monetisation for products used by tens of millions\. What drives me is owning a problem end\-to\-end and digging past the obvious answer to the real "why" behind user behaviour, then turning it into measurable impact\. Today at SIXT Ride, I own customer experience and communications for our ride\-hailing business\. Recently I designed and shipped my own AI product, Tenet — an accountability partner for traders — from idea to live in five weeks\. Always glad to connect with fellow builders\.
