Summary

I’m a delivery-focused Product Manager who turns complex ideas into functional digital products.

With over 5 years of experience, I’ve led cross-functional teams to launch SaaS tools, web apps, and global campaigns for brands like Amazon, Hisense, and Prime Gaming. At Tempo, I managed 14+ projects, and at Surf, helped scale a B2B platform to over 700,000 users.

I connect clients, engineers, and designers by bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to fast-paced builds across eCommerce, AI, and business solutions.

"I don't just ship products. I build momentum. My philosophy is simple: lead with clarity, deliver with intent, and always make it easier for great teams to do their best work."
