PRODUCT & DESIGN EXPERIENCE LEADERSHIP

" In today’s business landscape, product innovation thrives by blending incremental improvements with a culture that rewards creativity. "
Uta Knäblein - Former CPO iHeartMedia

My leadership approach is to balance today’s goals with tomorrow’s opportunities.
Whether it is transforming digital experiences into growth engines for Fortune 500 companies, or creating 0-1 products that resonate deeply with users, I specialize in blending strategic vision with operational excellence to drive impactful, user-centered innovation.
My approach enables top-tier global organizations to stay ahead in rapidly changing markets. Known for leading high-performing teams across product, design, engineering, analytics, data science, operations, marketing, sales and legal/compliance, I foster a product culture that’s data-driven and informed, creatively agile, and focused on delivering meaningful, human-centered experiences.

MY EXPERTISE
My approach to product strategy starts with fully understanding the corporate strategy and related business goals. Crafting a robust, actionable plan that drives growth, user engagement, and sustainable innovation, ensuring that product efforts consistently achieve impactful outcomes. From the start, I integrate sales insights to ensure the product is market-ready and effectively supports conversion efforts. My strategy is deeply user-centric, mapping out key moments in the user journey that foster loyalty and drive engagement always mapping it back to the business goals.
I prioritize seamless collaboration between product, design, engineering, bi/analytics, marketing, sales, finance and legal teams, creating a unified mission that powers effective execution. By continuously monitoring the competitive landscape, I ensure the approach is agile and responsive to market shifts. Strategic resource allocation allows for balancing thoughtful experimentation with scalability. My data-driven approach enables personalized, adaptable experiences that reinforces engagement, while a culture of calculated risk-taking fuels continuous innovation. This strategy not only aligns with overarching business objectives but builds a market-ready product poised for meaningful, long-term growth.

WHY ME
Setting A New Standard in Product and Experience Leadership to Address Critical Challenges Organizations Face Today
Digital Transformation and/or Technology Integrations
Many companies struggle to adapt quickly enough to the pace of digital evolution. I develop resilient strategies that drive innovation and engagement, turning complex transformations and integrations into structured, scalable roadmaps.
Aligning Cross-Functional Teams Around a Unified Product Vision
Misalignment across departments often leads to fragmented user experiences. I build cohesive, cross-functional teams aligned around a common vision, ensuring each product decision supports both user needs and business objectives.
Balancing Short-Term Wins with Long-Term Growth
In rapidly evolving markets, focusing on short-term results can jeopardize sustained growth. I implement strategic frameworks that prioritize immediate goals while setting the foundation for future success, so companies can lead today while preparing for tomorrow.
I take pride in empowering organizations to overcome these barriers, delivering products and experiences that drive both growth and lasting competitive advantage.
