Innovative Product Implementation specialist with 12+ years’ experience in guiding the execution of SaaS and non-SaaS products to the market. I help to ensure that priorities around company goals, customer demand and competition are balanced.Some examples include:• Spearheaded a lean approach to prototyping a complex and “industry first” new feature, which allowed us to test the concept with users within a week and subsequently deliver a working MVP within 2 weeks.• Managed full SDLC for the implementation of two new payment gateways (Cybercource and Azupay).• Implemented a “common sense” approach to the requirements analysis process, which meant that quick wins could be swiftly realised, and deeper-rooted new features could be given the time they deserved. This resulted in two concurrent agile streams of work within every sprint, ensuring a culture of providing consistent business benefit.• Facilitated a new revenue stream for a client through delivery of a new MI reporting structure that allowed them to predict volumes of various currencies that would be needed for their business operations ahead of time. With this knowledge, they were able to start hedging currencies and making a profit on their currency exchanges.• Analysed all financial business processes for a customer, which resulted in a proposal for several new features to automate and streamline financial operations, resulting in 98% reduction in manual reconciliation.• Co-ordinated a team of 5 client business users through the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) process, resulting in a successful product launch, with no major issues.Entrepreneurial in nature, I get excited by opportunities where I am able to think outside of the norm, talk to customers and other stakeholders to provide innovative solutions.I love connecting with new people.
