Description

Much before I learnt about product management as a profession, I was inquisitive about the what, why and who we are building for. Having worked at an investment management firm early on, I would spend my time after office learning product management fundamentals and how money works which ultimately helped me narrow down the PM role as the chosen direction for my career. Being a QA engineer in startups has given me the opportunity to work very closely with PMs and get a realistic picture of what the role entails which is why I took the step to make this transition. My career shift towards product management is driven by a knack for understanding users and the market and applying data-driven insights to make decisions on what and how to solve.

With a strong technical foundation, business-oriented mindset and soft skills, I feel confident and well-prepared to excel as a Product Manager.
