• [My Intentional Sabbatical: Investing in Growth, Health, and Impact]
• After four transformative years in product management, I made a decision that seemed counterintuitive but proved invaluable: I took a deliberate sabbatical to sharpen my skills, restore my energy, and amplify my future impact.
• Strategic Upskilling:
• I dedicated this time to deep reflection on my product journey and enrolled in the prestigious 'Advanced Product Growth' program by PMCurve. Working alongside experienced PMs and founders created an enriching environment where theory met practical application. This wasn't just learning—it was transformation. I've emerged with a robust framework to solve complex product growth challenges across early and growth-stage organizations, ready to drive measurable results from day one.
• Holistic Renewal:
• I believe that peak professional performance begins with personal wellbeing. By applying the same disciplined approach I use for product development to my health, I achieved remarkable results: 14kg weight loss and a 10+ point improvement in heart rate variability—a key marker of stress resilience and cognitive capacity. This wasn't merely about fitness; it was about building sustainable energy for the complex problems I'm passionate about solving.
• Continued Impact:
• Throughout this period, I maintained my edge by selectively consulting with idea-stage startups on product development. Happy to connect you for product advisory and with (YC style) developers and designers
