Saurabh S. — Product Manager
With over 17+ years of expertise in software product management, I am a results-driven professional who consistently delivers product-led business outcomes. During my tenure as a Product Leader at EY, I led a number of EY's most successful products from their very early days (PAANS, EY VIA, EY Assess). I spearheaded the end-to-end management of multiple 0-1 products in diverse domains including AI, internal audit, assessment management, analytics, and consent management. My responsibilities ranged from comprehensive market research and the development of a robust product vision to strategic collaboration with cross-functional teams and overseeing product development to ensure successful product launches. Under my leadership, these initiatives achieved significant market success. I have been instrumental in setting up and transforming groups in EY from services led to product led mind-set and setting up the processes around good product development practices. I also managed a high performing team of product managers in this role. At Microsoft, my role involved the leadership of a rule-based tax engine tailored to enhance the productivity and efficiency of tax analysts, with a particular focus on emerging markets like India. This engine played a pivotal role in the Dynamics 365 for Operations product suite. My responsibilities encompassed the full product lifecycle, from concept to market launch. A notable achievement during this tenure was the successful development and implementation of the intricate India GST regime within the product—a formidable challenge that we overcame through strategic decision-making and agile execution. This achievement underscores Microsoft's commitment to enabling customers to realize their potential and driving innovation in emerging markets. My proven ability to lead product development, deliver market success, and address complex challenges makes me a valuable asset in driving business growth and innovation.
