Über mich

Strategic Product Manager & Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO, CPRE)
UX-Driven | AI-Enhanced | Outcome-Focused

I’m a Strategic Product Manager and UX-driven Certified Scrum Product Owner with 10+ years in digital design & marketing and 3+ years in product ownership, team leadership, and product strategy.
I align user needs, business goals, and technical logic to build robust, intuitive, and high-impact digital products – now enhanced through AI-driven decision support, workflow automation, and insight generation.

WHY ME
When complex products fail, it’s rarely the developers’ fault – it’s because the “Why” wasn’t clear.
I make sure teams and stakeholders see and align on the North Star.
With a strong UX background, technical fluency, and startup experience, I bring clarity from vision to execution – through strategy, roadmaps, and measurable product goals.
My approach is hands-on, collaborative, and outcome-driven.
