Senior Product Manager with 20+ years in enterprise payments, embedded finance, and AI. I turn technical complexity into products that ship and revenue that scales.
Looking for: Product leadership at a growth-stage fintech or AI company where payments expertise and hands-on technical fluency drive the roadmap.
I've spent 20+ years in payments and fintech, building and scaling products where complex technology has to deliver real business outcomes. At Versapay, I owned four payment products that represented 60% of company revenue and served over 2,200 clients. Before that, I helped grow a semi-integrated EMV solution from $5M to $40M in ARR at Verifone during the U.S. liability shift.
Today I'm combining that deep payments expertise with hands-on AI skills to help growth-stage companies ship faster, sell smarter, and operationalize what's next. I made a deliberate investment in AI because I saw firsthand how it was reshaping the products I had spent my career building. That combination of deep fintech domain knowledge and hands-on AI capability is what I bring to every engagement.
My favorite kind of problem is the one nobody else wants to own. The messy, cross-functional, "who does this even belong to?" kind. I've found that the work nobody is touching is usually the work that matters most, and stepping into it is where I've made the biggest impact in every role I've held.
I was hired as the first Product Manager at a 39-person payments startup in 2019, owning four products with no formal process in place. One month later, a merger doubled the company overnight, and I helped unify two separate product organizations into a cohesive structure. I continued owning the four original products as they grew to 60% of combined company revenue. By my departure, the company had crossed 400 employees with multiple PM teams running on the framework we built.
More recently, I made a deliberate investment in AI. I saw firsthand how it was reshaping the products I had spent my career building. I started learning prompt engineering, deploying local language models, and building AI-powered prototypes. One of those prototypes, a social media monitoring tool, grew a client's sales pipeline by 40%.
The skill I've leaned on most throughout my career isn't strategy or technical depth. It's translation. Executives speak in outcomes, engineers speak in constraints, and customers speak in problems. The Product Managers who connect all three are the ones who ship work that actually matters.
Whether you have a role in mind, a product challenge, or just want to connect, I'd love to hear from you.
