I am a product leader with 10+ years in marketplaces and growth, leading cross‑functional teams to drive conversion, liquidity, and product strategy. I’ve built and scaled products in fast‑paced environments, constantly focusing on delivering outcomes. Recently I’ve shifted back to hands‑on building, using AI to move from idea to working product in days rather than weeks. I focus on solving problems, simplifying decisions, and shipping fast, while delivering measurable results.
