--Co-directed multi-year product vision and shaped execution for three core products (30%+ annual revenue contribution), leading a 20-member cross-functional team (Engineering, ML, Data Science, Research, MLOps, UX). Successfully embedded ML strategy into complex, cross-platform products by securing executive sponsorship and aligning global stakeholders. --Enabled over $7M in first-year expansion ARR from 4 Fortune 500 pharma partners by boosting user activation by 39% and adoption by 44% through targeted UX improvements and 6+ API integrations. --Reduced modeling cycles from months to hours by launching a GPU-enabled AutoML tool, democratizing ML access for thousands of pharma scientists via intuitive web interfaces. --Revamped backend architecture and UI to integrate 13+ deep learning models (GCNNs, XGBoost, Random Forest Ensembles) into a fully automated ML pipeline. This dramatically increased ML feature velocity, enabling rapid prototyping, parallelized training of 200+ models per run and deployment via Kubeflow on AWS. --Co-delivered extensible ML infrastructure that later powered 6+ high-impact ML products by partnering with engineering, significantly reducing development cycles and enabling scalable cloud deployments for new AI features. --Enhanced user trust and auditability of 200+ production models by co-delivering a 0→1 ML Monitoring Dashboard with Explainable AI (adding feature importance & uncertainty estimation). I also drove an API-first integration strategy and design.

About

Senior AI Product Leader | Ex-Researcher | Built 0→1 AI Products at Scale I transform breakthrough AI research into products that generate millions in revenue and serve users at scale. Over 9+ years in tech (7+ as PM), I've shipped AI/ML products across MarTech and Life Sciences—including a machine learning platform running 200-400 ML models simultaneously on cloud GPUs for AI-powered drug discovery. I've architected solutions that drove Fortune 100 partnerships and defined new product categories. What Sets Me Apart: My research background (Graph Neural Networks, ML systems) gives me an unfair advantage: I evaluate opportunities like a researcher, architect solutions like an engineer, and ship products like a builder. This trifacta means I: - Cut through AI hype → Identify scalable, high-ROI opportunities that ship - De-risk technical execution → Spot data, infrastructure, and UX pitfalls before they hit production - Accelerate time-to-market → Bridge research teams, engineering, and customer needs to deliver products that actually scale The result? AI products that don't just launch—they scale to millions in ARR, delight users, and become revenue engines. Track Record: ✓ 0→1 AI Product Leadership: Launched multiple AI products from concept to market, including platforms serving enterprise customers in industries like pharma and marketing tech. ✓ Cross-Functional Leadership: Led global teams across engineering, data science, design, and research to align technical complexity with business strategy and product vision ✓ Production ML at Scale: Architected and shipped ML/AI systems running 300+ GPU accelerated machine learning models on AWS, with expertise in the entire MLOps pipeline from data pre-processing, model training, fine-tuning, inference API deployment (containerization) and model observability and tracking. ✓ Data-Driven Growth: Drove growth and retention through A/B testing, product analytics, instrumentation, and continuous ML model evaluation—optimizing for both user experience and business metrics Stack: Python | TensorFlow, PyTorch | AWS | Kubernetes | MLFlow | API Integrations | API Design | Microservices What I'm Looking For: Senior AI PM roles at companies pushing the frontier of AI—especially opportunities involving: - Launching 0→1 AI products - Scaling AI platforms or AI infrastructure (LLMs, ML systems, AI/ML dev tools, AI inference, AI cloud services) - Collaborating with world-class research teams to productize breakthrough AI Lets connect!
