Product Lead @ Grover 🦄 | In love with building great products

Hi there!

I’m a passionate product leader with a deep love for innovation, e-commerce, and turning bold ideas into products that users genuinely love. Since 2015, I’ve been on an exciting journey—navigating the fast-paced world of digital retail and transforming abstract concepts into thriving realities.

My career started with a daring leap: building the DefShop app from scratch. That project taught me invaluable lessons in resilience, creativity, and innovation, pushing me to think outside the box to solve problems. Today, as Product Lead at Grover, I’m shaping the future of online shopping, guiding teams to develop solutions that are as functional as they are user-friendly. From redesigning the homepage to optimizing search algorithms, I've been fortunate to work on projects that make a real difference in how people shop.

But my journey is not just about the work; it’s about the people. Early in my career, collaborating with global brands like Lacoste and Nike taught me the value of effective communication and empathy. Understanding the diverse needs of different user groups became my guiding principle—whether I’m mentoring a team member or brainstorming with cross-functional teams, I believe in the power of collective intelligence.

Beyond my daily work, I’m deeply passionate about sharing my experiences and learning from others. LinkedIn has become a space where I write and speak about the areas that excite me most:

🔥 Leading Product Teams & Driving Innovation
🔥 Product Strategy, Growth & UX
🔥 The Future of Technology & Sustainability
🔥 Collaboration & Cross-Disciplinary Innovation

I’m always eager to connect with fellow professionals who are as excited about product innovation as I am. If my story resonates with you, or if you’re curious about e-commerce, user-centered design, or the future of product development, let’s connect! I’m open to learning from your experiences and sharing insights that can help us both grow.

Let’s collaborate, exchange ideas, and build the future of digital products together.
