As a visionary technology executive with 8+ years driving large-scale, multi-million dollar global growth across product and business development for venture-backed startups focused on consumer internet, I am recognized for maintaining a market edge with innovative product offerings. With expertise in cultivating strong partner relations and corporate development, I am consistently improving platforms, product development and technology. To meet aggressive growth, user acquisition and monetization deadlines, I align platform and product design initiatives with evolving market needs while negotiating complex contract agreements with diverse partners and clients. I look to drive development of intuitive business solutions while bridging the gap of communication between internal staff, key stakeholders and client decision makers.
