About

Product leadership, built brand by brand

I have spent more than 20 years managing products and taking them to market for Tier 1 global brands: Siemens Mobile, Nokia, Sony Mobile, and most recently Du Telecom in Dubai, where I led device strategy within a major digital transformation program.

My career runs on a rare dual track: product management and product marketing in equal depth, from portfolio strategy and commercial P&L through to positioning, launch and channel execution. A consistent software thread runs through it, including CRM integration, digital platform delivery, and genuine hands-on AI integration experience, not just familiarity with the tools, most recently AI and automation programs that lifted operational productivity by 65%.

This includes hands-on requirements work across BSS and CRM platforms — leading SaaS marketplace commercialization with CloudBlue, owning the device Product Catalog within Du's BSS environment, and defining journey logic for Pega-driven decisioning across upsell, cross-sell, and onboarding use cases.

I am now based in Darwin, NT, with full Australian work rights — subclass 491, no sponsorship required, no cost to employer, bringing 20 years of global product experience across five continents to my next chapter here.
