Profile
Product leader with 8+ years of experience spanning product management, software engineering, and co-founding an enterprise SaaS company. Proven track record of managing products end-to-end — from discovery and partner alignment through delivery and commercial launch — in complex, cross-functional environments.
Known for bridging technical and business stakeholders: able to translate customer and partner needs into clear product strategy, and equally comfortable diving into engineering detail when required. Experienced working with international clients and teams across cloud-native, DevOps, and enterprise software domains.
