About

I help healthcare and medical-device products move from idea to market — safely, on time, and built around what customers actually need. At Alcon, I sit at the intersection of Product Ownership, Program/Project Management, Verification, and People Leadership — leading cross-functional teams across multiple concurrent product workstreams. My job is to turn complex customer and business needs into clear requirements, prioritize the right work, manage risk and dependencies, and drive every release toward readiness. Over 11+ years, my role has grown well beyond traditional verification into: - Product & delivery planning - Requirements and customer-needs analysis - Backlog prioritization & roadmap discussions - Risk and dependency management - Release readiness & go/no-go decisions - Stakeholder leadership across global product, engineering, and business teams - Agile/Scrum delivery - Team leadership, mentoring, and process improvement
