About

I’m a business generalist with experience spanning growth, operations, and product management. My focus is on driving commercial outcomes by combining analytical rigour, user understanding, and cross-functional execution. In my most recent role, I worked closely with leadership to identify and solve problems in user activation and retention charters. I defined performance metrics, tracked impact through dashboards, and collaborate with multiple teams to execute high impact solutions. Prior to this I had a stint in product management where I led initiatives that improved user experience, reduced operational inefficiencies through data and research-driven solves. These experiences built my foundation in structured problem-solving, stakeholder management, and outcome ownership. I’m motivated by roles that sit at the crossroads of strategy and execution — where clarity of thinking, speed of decision-making, and collaboration define success.
