About Me.
I have experience leading cross-functional teams and overseeing the development and launch of new products, which demonstrates my ability to effectively manage and coordinate complex projects. My strong communication skills, as demonstrated through my experience presenting to large groups and collaborating with clients, will be valuable in a product management role.
Additionally, my experience with data analysis and my ability to use data to inform decision-making demonstrate my analytical and problem-solving abilities. These skills, combined with my ability to think strategically and my experience in the technology industry, has influenced my decision to seek a move into a product owner / management role.
