Listen to users, drive the product

My experience in customer service and sales allows me to view the products I create from different perspectives. I am a user advocate and I know how to understand and defend user needs, while implementing solutions that also provide value to the business.

About me

I am a Product Manager who likes turning unclear ideas into real products. I started close to users, support, sales, and operations, so I do not look at product work as just roadmaps and tickets — I care about what people actually need, what the business gets from it, and how the team can build it without wasting time.

I have launched products from scratch, rebuilt legacy platforms, improved RTB and self-service products, and delivered MVPs when budgets and deadlines were tight. I am strongest when things are messy: the idea is vague, the process is broken, the product is stuck — and someone needs to make it clear, useful, and shippable.
