Product Manager // PM Coach // Problem Solver
About
I'm an experienced Product Manager with a 5+ years track record in product development, specializing in early-stage B2B SaaS. Having worked across startups, agencies, large enterprises and political parties, I consider myself a generalist at heart. My passion lies in working with motivated teams to tackle challenging problems, and I firmly believe that small and dedicated teams can make a profound impact. Currently thinking about how AI tools blur the traditional boundaries between disciplines and accelerate the path from idea to prototype to product. Open for freelance projects, interim product management and consulting work.
