Promoted

Nov 2017Aug 2021 · 3 yrs 9 mos

  • Joined iZettle as an early founding member of the Product team as a PM with the ambition to begin a pivot of the product from payments to commerce. My role developed from informal leader to formal leader as the company doubled and then tripled in size. Started with a team of 6 x-functional members and grew to ~100 in two years. Manage a number of direct reports and have nurtured some as first time managers themselves. Together we are building a product that attracts, engages and retains a new target group with more complex needs but higher ARPU. This target group grew significantly in 2020 (making up a significant portion of overall revenue) and has become the new Northstar focus for iZettle.
