About

I’m a Program Manager with around 9 years of experience leading complex, cross-functional programs at large, high-growth technology companies, including Bitpanda, Careem, Uber & HBL. My background spans platform delivery, operations, and large-scale program execution, working closely with engineering, product, operations, compliance, and regional business teams to deliver initiatives that operate reliably at scale. I’ve led programs across multi-market environments, supporting products and platforms used by millions of users in fast-paced, high-ownership settings. At Careem & Uber, I delivered programs supporting core platform operations, focusing on scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency across pay, food, ride-hailing and marketplace systems. This included driving initiatives across onboarding flows, lifecycle management, automation, and service performance, while coordinating across multiple teams and stakeholders. At Bitpanda, I currently lead cross-team deliveries in a regulated, high-growth environment, where execution quality, coordination, and risk awareness are critical. My role involves translating strategy into clear delivery plans, managing dependencies across teams and external partners including banks, fintechs, and ensuring projects move from concept to launch with strong governance and accountability. Across roles, I’m known for: End-to-end program ownership in complex environments Strong delivery discipline across timelines, risks, and dependencies Cross-functional leadership across Product, Engineering, Ops & Business Operating effectively at scale, across regions and time zones Turning ambiguity into structured execution I’m comfortable stepping into environments where problems are not clearly defined, aligning stakeholders, and driving execution through to measurable outcomes. 📩 Always happy to connect with teams building large-scale platforms and technology products
