Seeking a Product Manager Role: Driving Strategy, Agility & Innovation
As a Product Manager, I thrive at the intersection of technology, business, and human connection, turning complex challenges into impactful solutions. My career spans Hospitality, Airlines, Entertainment, Retail, Payments, and Renewable Energy, where I’ve successfully led product strategies, optimized workflows, and driven cross-functional collaboration to deliver measurable results.
With a degree in Hospitality Management, my early career was shaped by dynamic, customer-focused environments—an experience that honed my ability to anticipate needs, prioritize effectively, and execute under pressure. Recognizing the increasing role of technology in product leadership, I returned to school five years after graduating to build a strong foundation in technical skills. Since then, I have embraced a continuous learning strategy, layering expertise in Agile methodologies, backlog prioritization, data-driven decision-making, and strategic roadmapping to stay ahead in an ever-evolving landscape.
I am actively seeking a Product Manager role where I can leverage my expertise to bridge the gap between technology and customer needs, delivering innovative solutions that drive business growth and create meaningful impact.
I invite you to explore my professional narrative and connect for opportunities to collaborate on projects that push boundaries and drive innovation.
