Nov 2024 – Oct 2025 · 11 mos

Intentionally paused after Ameriprise to deepen expertise in areas shaping the future of FinTech and compliance: advanced analytics, AI/ML in risk, payments reliability, onboarding optimization, and API-first product strategy. This has been a deliberate long-term investment in becoming a more effective senior product leader. I now return to the market with sharpened judgement, renewed clarity, and an expanded skill set for leading complex, high-scale product initiatives.

In this role, I led global product initiatives across onboarding, payments, and digital adoption for a large-scale financial services platform. Working as a FinTech Product Manager, I partnered with engineering, design, operations, compliance, and data science teams across time zones to drive meaningful impact.
I focused heavily on Onboarding Optimization, journey simplification, and deploying Conversion Rate Optimization strategies supported by Product Analytics (SQL). This included leading multiple 0→1 launches, improving digital adoption, and strengthening transaction workflows in a highly regulated financial environment.
I also drove stakeholder alignment across global teams, balancing customer needs, regulatory demands, and business priorities. Along the way, I strengthened execution culture by mentoring a cross-functional team of PMs and BAs and introducing delivery practices that improved speed and clarity.
This role deepened my experience as a Compliance Product Manager and API Product Manager, especially around secure transactions, verification flows, and data-driven decision making.
