Senior Product Manager at Microsoft
With over 15 years of global leadership experience and currently serving as a Senior Product Manager at Microsoft, I specialize in building and scaling secure, user-centric technology platforms. My journey spans key roles at Novartis, Prime Revenue, and Tesco, where I led cross-functional programs in DevSecOps, enterprise transformation, and global product delivery across regions such as Europe, Asia, and North America.
I bring a full-stack perspective to mentoring—grounded in engineering, refined by product thinking, and elevated through executive stakeholder management.
Why I Mentor:
I’ve grown from writing code to leading strategic initiatives at some of the world’s largest companies. Along that path, mentors played a pivotal role in shaping my thinking and career. I mentor because I believe in paying it forward—helping professionals overcome inertia, navigate complexity, and make confident career moves.

• Career Advancement: Roadmap to leadership, transitions into Big Tech, and high-performance strategies
• Product Strategy: From concept to delivery, backlog prioritization, metrics, customer empathy
• Tech & Security: DevSecOps, platform architecture, and security-first design
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Stakeholder alignment, executive communication, and delivery excellence
• Work-Life Balance: Making intentional choices while sustaining ambition
• Interview Coaching: Tailored preparation for product, security, and engineering roles in top-tier firms
