SKILLS
ABOUT ALERO O.
I’m a mission-driven product leader with 15 years of experience leading high-impact teams across HealthTech, FinTech, and Media. I thrive at the intersection of strategy, structure, and empathy - helping organizations evolve from reactive delivery to intentional, outcome-driven product leadership.At SoundExchange, I built a modern product practice - introducing frameworks for discovery, planning, and delivery that transformed how we prioritize, align, and measure success across teams. I’ve coached product leaders to think more strategically, fostered cross-functional collaboration with engineering and operations and Customer Service and helped transform our Product org into a trusted strategic partner to the business.Earlier in my career, I led product teams at Planned Parenthood, Honor, and American Express, where I drove major digital transformations that expanded access to healthcare, scaled workforce platforms, and delivered data-driven personalization for millions of users.What drives me most is building teams and systems that bring clarity and focus - so talented people can do the best work of their careers and users get the outcomes they deserve.I’m especially drawn to mission-oriented HealthTech companies that are scaling and need a thoughtful, grounded product leader to help define the next stage of growth.
