I've been a product manager long before the title got clearly deﬁned — part of the generation that helped shape the role. My career has always been about blending strategic thinking, leadership, and a deep understanding of how different disciplines intersect.

I believe a successful product balances vision, simplicity, user-centric design, and iterative improvement. It’s about understanding users deeply and delivering solutions that truly enhance their lives.
