About

I am a passionate builder of products with over 21 years of international experience in the enterprise tech space: 6 years in the Bay Area. A natural Product and Operational leader with a "rolled-up sleeves and can-deliver" work ethic. I also enjoy being in the field working deals and helping customers become raving fans of products I help grow to success. Currently, I'm Innovating on next gen sales with AI Agents help you as your teammates. Previously VP of Products at SAP where I established and scaled a new cloud CRM business from zero to nine figures in revenue, 2500+ enterprise customers, 1.2M licensed users and a Leadership position in Gartner MQ. Specialty: Launching new disruptive products (0-1) from the ground up & scaling them to become commercially successful. Below is how I go about it: • Work with the founder / C-Level to understand the vision, and bring the product closer to the vision. • Sculpt a bold strategy, identifying investment drivers and creating a prioritised backlog. • Working with UX designer for beautiful consumer-grade user experiences in B2B / D2C Space • Co-innovating with customers, validating the design and making data-driven decisions. • Bring a new level of operational excellence to product management organisation, through the development of formalised processes. like Ideation meetings, trade-off meetings, and prioritizations exercises. • Coaching and Leading geographically distributed product & UX teams. Ending every release with a better product and a better team. • Rally the engineering team behind the mission, with a well-prepared roll-in process and continuous oversight of dev execution, with expert testing to ensure the customer realizes the complete value. • Regular rollout & sales enablement to raise Product perception internally. • Establishing customer references, supporting analyst briefings, and strategic deals. • Make Build vs Partner decisions and extend partnerships to other ISVs (external scrum teams). • I am a lifelong student of empathy & value-driven product management.
