VP of Product Management | General Manager | Enterprise SaaS and AI Platforms
I started my career in SAP consulting, which sparked a lifelong passion for true customer-centricity and designing smart, highly functional software. That foundation naturally led me into product management, where over the past 20 plus years I have focused on building complex multi-sided marketplaces, enterprise B2B SaaS platforms, and large-scale data systems. Along the way, I have scaled a global platform business unit from scratch to a $400M P&L at Yahoo, built and launched a zero-to-one startup on Azure, and recruited and coached high-performing product organizations. Today, I operate as a hands-on, player-coach product executive who sits right at the intersection of long-term business strategy and modern technical execution. While I am comfortable aligning C-suite stakeholders and managing large budgets, I am equally at home writing detailed specifications and building directly with modern AI-assisted tools like Claude, Cursor, and n8n to rapidly prototype and ship intelligent systems.
