I build and scale digital products that solve real user problems and drive measurable growth. With 8+ years of experience across fintech, media,, SaaS, and consumer products, I work at the intersection of product management, growth, and quality assurance. My focus is on helping teams ship reliable products and scale them effectively, especially in emerging markets. At Opera, I lead Quality Assurance and Product Testing across African markets for products used by millions, including Opera Mini and MiniPay. I work closely with product and engineering teams to improve performance, reduce defects, and ensure consistent, high- quality user experiences at scale. Previously, I have contributed to product and growth initiatives that: - Increased daily active users from 5,000 to over 24,000 through product-led growth and partnership strategy - Supported app launches that drove up to 40% growth in user adoption across new markets - Led cross- functional execution to deliver MVPs aligned with user needs and business goals My experience covers product strategy, execution, and quality systems, but my core strength remains the same. Turning ambiguity into structured execution and measurable outcomes. I am particularly focused on: - Product growth and user engagement systems - Emerging market product strategy and execution - Building scalable, user-centric digital experiences - AI-driven product innovation I also invest heavily in developing the next generation of product leaders. I mentor across communities such as Enoverlab, ProdotHive, UstackSchool, and People in Product, where I guide early- and mid-level product professionals in validation, execution, and product thinking. Through my writing series All Things Product, I also share insights from experienced professionals and real product journeys to help others learn how products are actually built and scaled. I believe great products are built at the intersection of user insight, data, and disciplined execution. I enjoy turning ideas into systems and systems into products people rely on. Open to global opportunities in Product Management, Product Operations, and Product Leadership.
