Dear Hiring Manager, Over the past eight years, I have led end-to-end product initiatives in complex, data-intensive environments, taking products from early ideation through launch and scaling. In my current role as a Managing Consultant and AI Product Lead, I have owned product vision, roadmaps, and execution for AI-powered solutions used by large global organizations across retail, luxury, automotive, and consumer goods. I am comfortable operating in “0 to 1” contexts, translating ambiguous problems into structured product strategies and measurable outcomes. A significant part of my experience lies in designing, training, and operationalizing machine learning and LLM-based products. I have led Generative AI initiatives leveraging LLMs, prompt engineering, and agent-based architectures to improve data reliability, knowledge discovery, and decision-making at scale. These products required close collaboration with engineers and data scientists to assess model readiness, define quality metrics, iterate on prompts and workflows, and ensure production-grade reliability prior to launch. Kind regards, Hugo Jarny
