About
Blend of Research, Design and Product Management with 15+ years of experience growing a mix startup and multi-billion euro product portfolios.
To me success means, empowered teams, driving business growth by solving customer problems. I believe in using an outcome-driven framework that gives continuous feedback, enabling teams to make quality data-driven decisions.
...and I'm crazy about vegetarian food and Dutch cheese.

Skills
A bit about my experience and skills working both as a Product Manager and Product Design Manager.
Product Design Management
UX, Research & Product Designer with 15+ years of experience in consulting and leadership on digital products.
I love creating products that touch end-users in a meaningful way while keeping business goals in mind.
Having led design teams and worked as a Product Manager taught me how to balance business goals and engineering constraints as I unrelentingly advocated for the user.
Making informed design from research and working from a design system to de-silo engineering and design is key.
Product Management
I'm a Product Manager and problem solver with 10+ years of experience starting, building, and leading digital products.
I'm passionate about understanding customer needs and driving growth by influencing customer behavior. Searching for both quantitative and qualitative evidence to make informed decisions.
I love working cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, and other business teams to deliver on the product roadmap.
Leading the team to collectively execute lean and outcome-driven with a high velocity of experimentation is what makes it work.
