About David

Data-Driven, Design-Minded, Gen. AI-Inclined



                                               BIO

As a seasoned product owner with a background in fintech, data analytics, and user experience, I bring a multidisciplinary lens to building meaningful digital products. I thrive at the intersection of business needs, customer behavior, and technical execution—translating insights into scalable, user-centric solutions.

I’ve had the opportunity to lead product development in both startup and corporate environments, including two fintech companies that were each nominated for Fintech Company of the Year. That recognition speaks not only to the caliber of the teams I’ve worked with but also to the impact of the products we built—products that improved customer experience while aligning with regulatory, operational, and business goals.Whether it’s navigating internal stakeholders or external compliance requirements, I’ve learned to drive consensus without losing momentum.

My early foundation in data and analytics continues to shape how I think about product strategy. From wrangling datasets and designing dashboards to mapping out user flows and prioritizing backlogs, I approach problem-solving through both qualitative curiosity and quantitative discipline.In past roles, I’ve collaborated across functions—engineering, UX, compliance, cybersecurity, and legal—to scope requirements, evaluate third-party integrations, and deliver products that not only work, but resonate.

Beyond product development, I’ve also mentored junior teammates and led client-facing discussions, refining both my leadership skills and empathy for different points of view.I’m deeply interested in the full customer journey, from acquisition to retention. I ask hard questions, challenge assumptions, and rely on data to steer decisions. Ultimately, I’m driven by the idea that good product design isn’t just about features—it’s about creating value, reducing friction, and unlocking joy.
SKILLS

I bring a cross-functional skill set that bridges strategy, design, data, and execution. With a strong grasp of the full product development lifecycle, I’ve led initiatives from user research and wireframing to backlog prioritization and go-to-market execution—always with a focus on creating intuitive, impactful experiences.My background spans product management, data analytics, and business strategy.

I’ve worked with tools like Power BI, Figma, Jira, GitLab, Salesforce, and Python, and I’m comfortable navigating both high-level vision and technical depth. Whether I’m building dashboards, designing user flows, or analyzing customer pain points, I bring a curious, systems-thinking mindset to every challenge.In past roles, I’ve worked within SCRUM and Agile environments, managing stakeholders across tech, design, compliance, and operations.

I’ve also scouted and evaluated third-party platforms for integration, and collaborated with regulators and legal teams to ensure full alignment.What sets me apart is my ability to combine a data-driven approach with creative problem-solving. From running user acceptance tests to designing merchant portals, I’m comfortable switching between analytical rigor and product intuition. My early training in financial modeling and business analysis continues to inform how I assess risk, evaluate trade-offs, and make decisions grounded in both data and user value.Above all, I approach product management with empathy—for both users and teammates—and a commitment to delivering products that are not just functional, but meaningful.
