I have always prioritized communication with stakeholders to navigate business challenges and ensure clients get value from their investment.- Head of Product Management: Reibus InternationalAs the organization's first Product Leader, I helped grow company's valuation from 68M to 750M within two years by leading the product development. I led customer research campaigns, conducted customer interviews, and implemented user-tracking tools within the application to deliver insights to stakeholders. To improve the product, I also designed internal and external educational materials and learning tools to assist sales of ReibusΚΌ complex inventory of metals and development of their ecommerce marketplace.
