As a strategic leader, I directed product strategy during a critical period of hypergrowth, overseeing a team of 20+ product managers and engineers. My leadership was instrumental in securing the largest client in the company’s history, resulting in a 10% uplift in annual revenue. I championed the launch of a groundbreaking Insurtech platform, which generated $2M in new revenue and redefined the transportation insurance market with innovative pay-as-you-go solutions.In addition to driving top-line growth, I led the development of advanced fraud detection and risk mitigation models, safeguarding the company from $1.2M in potential liabilities. My focus on customer satisfaction and operational excellence led to a 60-point increase in Net Promoter Score (NPS) and a tenfold improvement in system performance through strategic mobile app development. I also implemented a data warehouse solution that streamlined reporting and analytics, reducing overhead costs by $250k.
