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. Open for freelance projects, interim product management and consulting work.
