I am a New York-based Principal Technical Product Manager at a leading Investment Bank in the Midwest, with over a decade of experience in Synthetic Derivatives Trading and Financial Technology. My career began with conducting Equity Research in Energy Services Portfolios for Private Equity and Venture Capital clients, eventually transitioning to Product Development within the Financial Services sector. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Architectural History and Applied Economics, and my skill set spans building Trading Software, Equity Derivatives Trading, Product Development, Securities Sales in Index Arbitrage, and Digital Payments.
My expertise lies in designing and implementing the “as-a-service” model across organizations, with my current focus on establishing and rolling out a Platform-as-a-Service framework to redefine my organization’s user journey. My mission is to enhance the developer experience by modernizing API documentation, building DIY capabilities, and driving innovation through technologies like Open Banking, Authentication, and Enterprise API channels. I lead initiatives such as rebranding Developer Portals, launching new Developer Portal instances, building AI-powered Product Recommender Systems, and developing robust CMS platforms. Through collaboration with cross-functional teams, I craft data-driven strategies for messaging, positioning, and growth within Open Banking and developer platforms.

My journey to product management was not conventional. I started in a fast-paced, revenue-focused environment that, while thrilling, left me searching for purpose. It wasn’t until I shifted to a role where I could champion products and their value that I found my true calling. I realized that my passion lies in teaching others about products, making the shift from task-driven work to delivering meaningful impact through technology and innovation.
 
This transition from front-office trading to product development was transformative, reshaping my perspective to focus on building solutions that serve people. I thrive as a leader who informs, inspires, and evangelizes emerging technologies to drive societal and organizational progress.

As a coach and mentor, I draw from my own experiences to guide others in defining their career narratives. I have supported new hires, rotational analysts, and seasoned professionals seeking internal transitions, and I’ve connected with thousands of peers across the industry through LinkedIn to offer career advice. I emphasize the importance of patience, self-reflection, and crafting a personal journey rooted in meaningful growth and real-world experiences.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, a mid-career professional, or contemplating a significant career change, my goal is to help you find clarity, confidence, and purpose in your professional path. Together, we can redefine what success means for you, one impactful step at a time.
