Hi 👋

🔻 A little bit about me
A Product Manager who strives to perfect the user journey and to ensure that every product interaction will be as impactful as it is joyful.
Amongst my fields of expertise are: B2B2C Web/Mobile Apps, Idea Framing & Execution and Data Analysis.
Business Focus:
  • Building a concept into a loveable product, from requirements to productions while constantly fine tuning PMF (product market fit), validating assumption through the voice of the user, and using, research based, economical & financial models.
  • Increasing Productivity through frictionless communication & human interaction.
  • Learning fast to create high business value in a brief time span while constantly improving the value I bring to the team.
Loves Notion (maybe too much):
