Experience

1. Product Manager

   Fora Travel

   Sep 2024 — Present · New York, NY, US

   Fora Travel powers the next generation of travel entrepreneurs with AI-enabled technology and a strong foundation of community-driven content.As Product Manager for the Discovery, Content, and Marketing team, I lead how advisors find and evaluate options for their clients\' trips. I\'ve shipped a deals platform that aggregates partner inventory from multiple sources, normalizes data across suppliers, and surfaces deals in the booking flow and on a dedicated deals page, driving meaningful revenue and consistent advisor engagement. I built a price-drop notification system for refundable bookings that saves clients significant money and strengthens advisor-client trust, and shipped LLM-powered review summarization into the booking flow, measurably reducing advisor research time.Alongside this, I\'ve scaled a proprietary advisor review dataset into a defensible data asset powering Fora\'s discovery, ranking, and AI capabilities; redesigned the product execution communication process adopted across the PM team; and transformed a list feature into targeted hotel landing pages that drove a significant lift in partner engagement.I own the team\'s vision and strategy and partner across the organization to translate advisor needs into features that accelerate discovery, improve decision quality, and strengthen client outcomes.
