About

Enterprise Product Manager | 10+ Years Scaling Hospitality SaaS | PMS, Global Distribution & Payments I am an Enterprise Product Manager dedicated to solving complex operational challenges within the hospitality technology ecosystem. My career has been defined by a deep focus on building and scaling Property Management Systems (PMS) and Global Distribution Platforms that streamline how hotels operate and sell. With over 8 years of experience in the SaaS space, I specialise in the lifecycle of hospitality products starting from initial deployment and international market expansion to optimising high-volume booking engines. I take pride in bridging the gap between intricate technical architecture, such as API integrations, and intuitive user experiences that reduce staff training time and improve conversion rates. What I bring to the table: - PMS Expertise: Proven track record in co-leading large-scale PMS deployments and significantly improving "go-live" efficiency for hotel partners. - Global Distribution: Experience owning roadmaps for distribution platforms serving B2B clients across 30+ countries. - Operational Impact: A focus on reducing rework and improving roadmap predictability through structured OKR alignment and Agile methodologies. - Technical Strategy: Hands-on experience with API architecture and integrating global payment and distribution standards. I am passionate about building hospitality products that are not only robust and scalable but also empower hotel staff to deliver better guest experiences
