Ece Isel

I'm a Strategic Technical Product Leader with 22+ years bridging executive product vision with hands-on technical implementation. My expertise spans enterprise cybersecurity, AI-powered manufacturing solutions, and emerging technologies, consistently delivering measurable business impact: 67% reduction in issue resolution time, 30% cost reductions, and 467% endpoint growth.

What sets me apart is my systematic approach to complex product decisions under uncertainty. I've developed proprietary frameworks including a 4-Phase Customer Acquisition methodology (Discovery → Positioning → Pilot → Scale) and Business-Objective Weighted Scoring with Time Criticality Matrix. These methodologies have driven success across Fortune 500 deployments at Cisco, SAP, UPS, and National Grid.

My technical foundation enables true strategic leadership. Currently at Pfizer, I'm leading generative AI implementation for manufacturing operations while managing cross-functional teams of 31+ product managers, designers, and engineers. My background spans from healthcare systems to cybersecurity platforms serving hundreds of thousands of business customers, giving me unique insight into scaling enterprise solutions.

I excel in emerging technology commercialization. Beyond current agentic AI workflows and LLM orchestration using AWS architecture, I've led product strategy for synthetic data generation platforms, trust & safety solutions for P2P marketplaces (150M+ users), and cloud optimization platforms. My systematic customer discovery approach—including 150+ stakeholder interviews across Fortune 500 companies—ensures product-market fit validation before full deployment.

Enterprise customer acquisition is my specialty. I've consistently converted prospects to full deployments through strategic MVP development and systematic validation methodologies. From securing pilot programs with leading social media companies to driving 25% infrastructure cost savings for enterprise clients, I translate technical capabilities into measurable business outcomes.

Cross-functional leadership defines my approach. Having led geographically distributed teams across Turkey, Ukraine, and India, I establish data-driven product development methodologies and mentor teams to develop comprehensive metrics frameworks. My product foundation work at OpsGenie contributed to their successful Atlassian acquisition.

I'm seeking remote opportunities with growth-stage startups to enterprise organizations where I can apply my proven customer acquisition frameworks, AI implementation expertise, and systematic decision methodologies. I'm particularly drawn to companies in regulated industries, API platforms, or data-driven solutions requiring both strategic thinking and technical depth.

My comprehensive certifications span product management leadership (Pragmatic Marketing - Level II, PMP, OMG, BPMN, CBAP), AI/data science (MIT, Data Science and Big Data Analytics: Making Data-driven Decisions, Udacity AI Product Manager), and cloud architecture, ensuring I stay current with emerging technologies and industry innovations.
