Summary

Focused on leading product innovation as a Group Product Manager, my career spans over two decades of transforming product visions into successful market realities. At the core of my approach is a dedication to understanding and meeting the evolving needs of global clients, backed by a history of notable achievements: ➤ At Guidewire Software, I was instrumental in expanding core offerings to cater to global clients of varying scales, which was recognized consistently with Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader awards. ➤ I spearheaded the enhancement of scalability at Guidewire, launching the company's first cloud-native services. This pivotal move won over State Farm, the largest insurer in the U.S., along with other Tier One clients such as USAA. ➤ Recognizing the importance of data privacy, I defined the vision and drove the development to meet forthcoming GDPR requirements on an accelerated schedule. This initiative established Guidewire as a thought leader, particularly with key European customers and prospects, and anticipated the needs of CCPA, Quebec Law 25, and similar regulations. My expertise is anchored in product strategy and user experience design, with a strong focus on international market dynamics. I have a proven track record in developing timely solutions in dynamic markets , internationalizing product offerings, and significantly scaling business operations. In my tenure at Logitech, I negotiated key partnerships and launched initiatives that resulted in a substantial increase in market share and sales, illustrating my ability to turn strategic visions into profitable realities. My background as a Senior Research Engineer at SRI International laid the foundation for my deep understanding of technology and its practical applications in product management. As a Group Product Manager, my goal is to continue leveraging these skills to drive product innovation, market expansion, and customer satisfaction. I thrive in environments where I can collaborate with diverse teams to turn complex challenges into successful products that resonate with users and drive business growth.
