What I bring

Where I spend my judgement

01

Product Strategy & Vision

Ability to translate business goals into a clear roadmap — backed by market research, competitive analysis, and data-driven prioritization. Shows you think beyond features to business impact.

02

Cross-Functional Execution

Proven track record working with Agile squads (iOS, Android, Backend, QA, UX) — writing clear epics/user stories, running sprint ceremonies, and making sharp trade-off calls on scope vs. timeline vs. quality.

03

User-Centered Discovery

Strength in discovery — user interviews, JTBD frameworks, wireframing with designers, and validating hypotheses through A/B testing before committing engineering resources. Shows rigor, not just guesswork.

04

Regulatory & Domain Expertise

Especially relevant for FinTech: fluency in PSD2, GDPR, DORA, AML/KYC — the ability to turn compliance constraints into product decisions rather than treating them as blockers. This is a differentiator most generalist PMs don't have.

Who

Who you would be working with

Product Manager with 15+ years of experience building data-driven, customer-facing digital products in payments and financial services. At Worldline I turned complex transaction data into clear financial insights that customers could act on — increasing merchant engagement by 50%. I bring a proven ability to own end-to-end product delivery within DevOps teams: from discovery and customer research through to backlog ownership, prioritisation, experimentation, and continuous improvement. I am deeply motivated by helping people make better financial decisions.
