About

How I lead product.

My background spans engineering, doctoral research, product strategy, partnerships, and go-to-market work. I work with executives, engineers, sales teams, and customers to turn complex needs into practical product decisions.

I bring a calm, structured approach to B2B and deeptech products where technical credibility, team alignment, and commercial judgment matter.
