About

🚀 Results-Driven Product Leader | 💡 Driving Innovation & Growth | 🌍 Explorer | 💳 Credit Card Enthusiast | I’m a Product Manager at heart, passionate about building products that solve complex problems and scale with impact. Over 7.5 years in SaaS and CPaaS, I’ve built and scaled products across communication, trust, and monetization — empowering hundreds of thousands of businesses globally. ✨ What I Do As Associate Director of Product at HighLevel, I lead a team of PMs and specialists across Messaging, Voice, WhatsApp, RCS, SaaS, Email, Wallet & Reselling. My focus spans: Communication at scale → evolving Phone System and launching new channels like WhatsApp & RCS. Trust & compliance → building out KYC/KYB onboarding, fraud prevention, taxation, and billing systems. Agency monetization → scaling SaaS, Wallet, and Reselling products that enable agencies to white-label HighLevel and generate new revenue streams. UX excellence → simplifying complex workflows (phone numbers, billing, compliance) into intuitive, self-serve experiences that reduce friction and support burden. 🌟 Beyond Work Hobbies: Avid coin collector 🪙, each piece telling a story. Passions: Traveling via credit card hacks fuels my creativity and problem-solving. Community: Active in product communities and mentorship, guiding aspiring PMs on their career journeys. I believe great products are built at the intersection of strategy, empathy, and execution. Whether it’s designing seamless communication systems, empowering agencies with new monetization tools, or creating compliant global platforms — my focus is on making growth simple for businesses. 💬 Let’s connect and share stories about products and credit cards!
