Summary
I'm a passionate product leader, with expertise in end-to-end SaaS product ownership. I have extensive experience cultivating ideas, designing product strategies, building and leading high-performing teams and taking multiple products to market. I focus on personalized experiences, ensuring I understand the customer jobs and make data-driven decisions that enable me to continuously improve my customer's experience. I enjoy exploring different ways innovation can change people's lives, and can easily navigate the complex nature of an AI/Machine Learning ecosystem, and make product decisions based on how these technologies can deliver on advanced solutions. I have filed three patents in the area of personalized learning pathways. I practice Agile/Scrum and iterative design & development. I design and conduct user research models, internal and external communications, insist on best practices for data privacy, and I am my customer's best advocate.
