Engineering + Product Leader

I help build awesome teams and bring seemingly impossible products to life, through strong strategic thinking, management & leadership.

Over the years, I've worn many hats, often filling gaps in an organization. In my roles, I've been responsible for:

  • Defining products

  • Building & Leading interdisciplinary teams

  • Securing & Managing budget

  • Ensuring smooth planning & execution of programs Communicating on different aspects of the programs, both technical & non-technical, vertically & horizontally.

I am an engineer at heart, and I wish to leave the world a bit better than when I got here!
