Director Of Product

I am a transformative pathfinder, a go-getter, and a fast learner. I am driven by the pursuit of transcendent human fulfilment and sustainable happiness. In everything I do, I strive to bring more proximity to Beauty, Prosperity, and Peace to those around me.

As an executive-level product expert and entrepreneur at heart, I excel at leveraging my judgment, creativity, and pursuit of excellence to transform organizations both large and small. My varied experience spans B2C, B2B, and consulting organizations in both applied and high-tech industries, where I have set product strategy and operational vision. Along the way, I have acquired tremendous technological prowess and know-how across several industries, most notably blockchain. 

Managing agile teams throughout the entire product development cycle has sharpened my skills as an adept manager of managers. I am dedicated to building strong, empathetic, trust-based relationships with stakeholders at all levels in the same way I am passionate about understanding users’ wants, needs, and pain points. I use my leadership skills and people acumen above all to make sure I attract, develop, and retain the best possible talent to form a superstar team.

Besides being a hands-on strategist and an innovative thought leader, I am both a hobbyist coder and an enthusiast of cutting-edge technology. I strive to deliver value daily while appreciating and promoting others who share my values. I seek to establish value-driven structures with clear processes wherever I go.

Please feel free to reach out to me for advice in the areas of product management, growth hacking, agile strategy & planning, branding & communications, user experience, innovation management, and business development. In my work, I always consider the clarity of your organization’s vision and the impact on people and culture of new growth initiatives.
