Customer-Centric Product Management | Data-Driven Analysis | Trust-based Leadership
Collaborative Creative Problem-Solving Advocate | Embracing What If Scenarios | Spreading Kindness at Every Turn My experience has equipped me with a unique blend of technical expertise, a customer-centric mindset, and strong cross-functional collaboration skills. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging my analytical acumen to identify opportunities, shape product vision, and lead high-performing teams toward success. As a seasoned professional, I excel in building user experiences, and implementing effective customer communication strategies. My approach is anchored in data-driven decision-making, curiosity, experimentation, and a relentless pursuit of continual improvement. There is always something new to learn, or something that has shifted for the customer that requires a thoughtful response. I love taking something from opaque to clear and getting to the why around any decision to build consensus. I have loved each opportunity to build solutions with both customers and colleagues from varied backgrounds and cultures. My international upbringing, spanning Barcelona, Spain, education in Germany, and residence in France during university, enriches my approach to collaboration. Let's solve the big puzzles together!
