🌈 About Me

When I'm not immersed in product strategy and execution, you'll likely find me hiking the Himalayas or lost in one of the two to three books I devour monthly. My curiosity about how things work drives me both professionally and personally—be it optimizing product roadmaps or discovering the perfect mountain trail. I thrive on challenges, and whether in business or the great outdoors, I'm constantly exploring new horizons.
