How I work
Turn complexity into clarity
I work comfortably where business requirements, technology constraints and regulation collide.

I use customer discovery, experimentation and direct collaboration with engineering to turn ambiguity into product decisions.
Connect strategy to delivery
I care about the roadmap, but also about what actually reaches production and creates measurable value.
