Fractional Product Leader

Lattice

Zero to One Senior PM where I worked on Lattice HRIS.

Senior Product Manager

Workday

I worked on the Workday Help product as a zero to one project. Workday Help provides HR knowledge and case management solutions that help employees find the information they need faster.

I was responsible for defining and executing on the roadmap for the case management product area. Our focus was on enabling HR professionals to be as productive as possible while providing the best possible experience to their employees.

Product Manager

I spent my first 2 years with Workday as a product manager on the Recruiting product team. 

My primary focus was on building new products and features focused on recruiter productivity. I was the lead PM on the new job requisition workspace feature which remains the most frequently used feature in the Recruiting product suite.

Senior Associate Product Manager

One Rocket

One Rocket was an employee onboarding SaaS startup which I founded in January 2015. With One Rocket, we participated in the Y Combinator fellowship program.

We worked with customers in both the US and Europe to help streamline their employee onboarding processes. The One Rocket product allowed new employees to access documents, learning content and more from one simple interface.

We call this the white-van inflation index at Manano and it will make you angry. 

Real inflation for people who work based on petrol prices recorded by our users is: 12.3% in annualised inflation.

That's real money. Insurance, goods, materials.

Looking at how every neobank won is super interesting. Almost none started from being a straight bank.

Revolut didn't start as a bank. Monzo Bank didn't start as a bank. Mercury didn't start as a bank. They all started by owning one workflow. Currency conversion for travelers. Budgeting for millennials. Banking for startups. Then they became the account. Then they became everything.

The pattern is always the same. Find a behaviour people already do daily. Make it 10x better. Become the financial layer underneath it.

Here's the technical version of that story. Revolut launched in July 2015 with a prepaid card on top of Global Processing Services (GPS) as their payment processor. No banking license. No balance sheet risk. Just a slick app and smart FX routing at interbank rates. They didn't need to be a bank, they needed to feel like a better one. The UK banking license came in 2024, nearly a decade later, once they had 45 million customers.

Mercury did the same thing. They launched on Evolve Bank & Trust, added Choice Financial Group, then Column N.A. (founded by Plaid's William Hockey). In March 2025 they announced they're moving off Evolve entirely. The infrastructure is swappable. The distribution isn't.

That's the playbook. Own the workflow first, earn the account second. The BaaS layer (whether it's Railsr, Swan, Treezor, or your own stack) is increasingly commoditised. Distribution is the moat.

Nobody switches banks. They just stop needing their old one.
