I am a Computer Science grad, but, later on, I moved on to Product Management as I enjoyed working on ambitious products from conception to fruition. I like to position myself as "a Product Management professional with a flair for tech, data, and entrepreneurship".
I have had stints in South East Asia and Europe in some of the largest internet companies in these regions. Highlights of my product management experience -
- Product Manager at Rocket Internet's fashion e-commerce company - Zalora (Singapore). Go-to online fashion destination in South East Asia. We catered to 8 countries and >5 million customers. I worked on their delivery/fulfillment products
- Product Manager at South East Asia's largest ride-hailing app - Grab (Singapore). An Uber competitor that bought out Uber's SEA entity. Grab has more than 20 million downloads. I worked on some cutting edge features for their app.
- Product Specialist at Zalando SE (Berlin). It is one of the largest internet companies out of Europe. Their userbase is more than 15 million and annual revenue is upwards of 3 billion Euros.
- Senior Product Manager at Wayfair (Berlin) - I worked on tech products that catered to global markets (viz. USA, Canada, Europe). It's a USD 7 billion run rate company with >30% annual growth rate
By virtue of being at these extraordinary places, I got an opportunity to work with dense datasets (>10-15 million customers) to identify opportunities and apply some of the best Product Management practices to churn out high quality, scalable tech products. Also, I got a chance to roll out products to all major internet markets - USA, Canada, Europe, India, China, South East Asia.
