About

Growth and product strategy leader with 8+ years building on top of data — specializing in activation, onboarding, and consumer funnel optimization at scale. Currently driving U.S. growth for WhatsApp and serving as AI Champion for a 50-person analytics org, translating AI capabilities into how teams actually work. I’m drawn to problems at the intersection of human behavior, product, and scale — the kind that show up in the data before they show up anywhere else. If you’re working on something at that intersection, I’d love to connect.
