Product Manager / TPM / EPM with 8+ years of experience delivering AI-enabled, cloud-based SaaS products in regulated and customer-facing environments. I specialize in owning execution, aligning cross-functional teams, and scaling complex platforms from concept through launch.Currently at Clario, I lead product delivery across cardiac and respiratory R&D, working with globally distributed teams across the US, India, Germany, and Vietnam. I partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, UX, V&V, Operations, and Release leadership to translate strategy into execution — from feature definition and backlog prioritization to PI planning, release readiness, and stakeholder demos.My work spans product management, technical program management, and product operations — ensuring on-time delivery, quality outcomes, and customer satisfaction in highly regulated environments. I’ve driven cross-team dependency resolution, introduced automation to improve testing efficiency, reduced defect backlog and technical debt, and supported audits and SOP compliance without slowing delivery.I bring a calm, execution-focused leadership style, strong technical fluency, and a bias for clarity — helping teams navigate ambiguity while keeping users and business outcomes front and center.Core focus areas:Product Management • Technical & Engineering Program Management • Product Operations • Agile / SAFe Delivery • Cross-Functional Leadership • Cloud & SaaS Platforms • AI-Enabled Products • SDLC • Stakeholder AlignmentBackground: MBA (Project Management)| MS (Software Engineering)| BE (Computer Science)Certifications: CSPO® | SAFe Product Owner / Product ManagerCurrently exploring Product Manager, Technical Program Manager (TPM), Engineering Program Manager (EPM), and Product Operations Manager roles where I can drive execution, scale platforms, and deliver customer impact.
