About

I build healthcare technology products that ship on time, at scale, and with the user at the center. My path to product is unconventional, and it’s my biggest advantage. Before moving into product management, I spent 13 years leading complex programs and projects for global clients including eBay, managing cross-functional teams of 70+ members across the US, UK, and India. I’ve seen what kills products after the roadmap is written: misaligned stakeholders, broken delivery pipelines, and teams pulling in different directions. As a product manager, I design around those failure points from day one. My focus areas: - Product strategy & roadmapping - Stakeholder alignment at scale - Global execution
