As a Group Product Manager at OpenTable, I lead a team of product managers and designers to identify, develop, and launch new products and features that enable our restaurant partners to grow their businesses and optimize their operations. With over 10 years of experience in online marketplace strategies, I have a deep understanding of the needs and challenges of our partners, as well as the opportunities and trends in the market.I am passionate about using data and insights to inform decision-making, and I thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments where innovation and experimentation are valued. Some of the achievements I am proud of include: • Reducing new customer onboarding TTV from weeks/months to hours/days (OpenTable)• Automating platform acquisition for majority of entry-level accounts via digitally acquired free trials (OpenTable)• Increasing MAUs for web and native apps by 10x (Dealflicks)• Expanding overall product development velocity by 150%(Dealflicks)I am also skilled in working with stakeholders from all departments to define and prioritize product requirements, develop go-to-market plans, and drive cross-functional collaboration and alignment.
