About Anna Precourt

I create outcome driven product operating models that are both efficient and elegant. I ensure the company is investing in the right product development efforts. I partner with Product Executives to create product strategy execution frameworks with multi-tier roadmaps, I simplify portfolio prioritization through clear ROI data, and I partner with Delivery Teams and Engineering to sequence agile roadmaps for optimal execution. As a Strategic Portfolio Management and Product Operations leader, I specialize in transforming organizations from reactive execution to proactive planning. I act as a diplomat, aligning complex roadmaps with OKRs and corporate strategy to maximize value realization across the full product lifecycle. I have experience leading full stack agile product development teams delivering SaaS, PaaS, and digital solutions. I have a foundation in financial analysis along with rigorous EPMO design expertise.Currently, I am establishing a Product Portfolio Management and ProdOps function from the ground up for a start up digital bank. This includes creating a value stream governance framework encompassing product discovery, OKR-driven prioritization, benefits realization, and resource planning for a portfolio of digital banking products (Loans, Deposits, and Credit Cards). I partner daily with Finance, Analytics, and Technology to ensure our frameworks drive measurable financial and customer results.With two decades of broad experience in product leadership, business strategy, and financial analysis, I excel at building trusted partnerships across diverse business functions. I offer an enthusiastic, empathetic, and neurodiversity affirming leadership style. I am a certified development coach and I am trained in HR management.
