As a Director of Product, my extensive experience in the financial and commodities industry, coupled with strong technical and leadership skills, has enabled me to deliver innovative and successful products to the market. My ability to take ownership in a fast turnaround environment, combinated with my proactivity and focus on user-centered design, results in products that meet customers needs while driving business growth. With a solid understanding of the financial instruments and market data, I can easily engage with the business to understand the models and concepts they are working on, so that I can facilitate cross-functional teams collaboration to achieve our product goals.
