About Me
A passionate product manager and entrepreneur driven by the mission to build products that make a meaningful impact on people's lives.
My Journey
My journey from a curious programmer to a product leader is defined by a desire to build and scale. After starting my career in development at SAP Labs, I pivoted to entrepreneurship, co-founding multiple startups and managing 8+ products. This experience gave me a unique blend of agility and execution, leading to significant roles at Telus and The Ottawa Hospital.
I am a proven leader who drives measurable impact, from improving process efficiency by 200% in healthcare to leading a $6M+ rebranding initiative. I have a track record of communicating value, having pitched to over 100 investors and impacted more than 300,000 customers.

What Drives Me
The principles that guide my approach to product management and entrepreneurship.
User-Centric Design
Every product decision starts with understanding user needs. I believe in building solutions that genuinely improve people's lives, not just meet business metrics.
Data-Driven Decisions
Intuition is important, but data tells the real story. I leverage analytics, user research, and market insights to make informed product decisions.
Collaborative Leadership
Great products are built by great teams. I focus on creating environments where cross-functional teams can collaborate effectively and achieve ambitious goals.
My Product Philosophy
"The best products are built when you deeply understand the problem you're solving, obsess over the user experience, and measure success by the impact you create."
My approach to product management is shaped by four core principles: a deep understanding of the problem, a commitment to user empathy, a data-driven mindset, and a focus on measurable value. This philosophy has guided me in creating products that solve real-world problems.
From building mobile apps for a specific user need to developing enterprise tools that increase accessibility, I am driven to create solutions that are both scalable and human-centric. I am passionate about the intersection of AI and user experience and am looking to join a team that builds products that empower people to do more.
Let's Build Something Together
I'm always interested in connecting with fellow product enthusiasts, potential collaborators, and teams working on impactful products.
