My approach

Developing a user-centered approach to building products that actually works.

Customer centricity is only useful when it’s more than just a buzzword. I believe it to be the foundation of successful products in today’s competitive landscape. Yet, many companies still struggle to fully adopt and operationalize it.

I focus on developing a programmatic approach and a structured process that ensures the following priorities are met.

Evidence-based decision-making

Customer insights are there when decisions are being made — structured, easily accessible and most importantly actionable. Product strategy is powered by customer knowledge.

What makes my experience unique

Remote Leadership

Executive Collaboration

Research-Driven Mindset

My commitment to solving real problems led me to deeply value research, integrate it into product organizations, and ensure that decisions are evidence-based.

Over 10 years of direct collaboration with executive decision-makers, reporting to CEOs, and shaping product strategies at the highest level.

I’ve been working remotely since 2014 — long before COVID made it the norm. Led several international remote teams. I really know how to build remote teams, without compromising on efficiency or creative potential.
