Summary

My journey into product management has been marked by curiosity about solving problems and a commitment to delivering impactful outcomes. After experiencing how close engineering and product were, I pursued an MBA, improving and becoming aware of my strategic management skills. Upon joining StealthTest as a Technical Product Manager, I orchestrated a critical 90% cost reduction within one month and accelerated the integration of new technologies by 50% in just two weeks. Moreover, my initiatives and product launches with (Enterprises and API) contributed to securing four industry partnerships and ultimately facilitated the acquisition of the company.
