About

Leading product strategy at Optiva Inc., my focus has been on establishing a groundbreaking B2B/B2B2X marketplace, fostering ecosystems where partners and customers interact seamlessly. Our team's efforts in developing and launching a new product line have not just pivoted the company's market position but also validated innovative hypotheses through MVPs. With a hands-on approach to Agile Project Management, I've steered cross-functional teams towards the successful implementation of industry 4.0 technologies, such as Computer Vision and Bluetooth Beacons at GE Power. These initiatives underscore my commitment to solving complex problems and driving digital transformation in the manufacturing landscape.
