I got my MBA at Kellogg Northwestern in Chicago, one of the best business schools in the world. Go, ‘Cats!

Prior to that I worked for 6 years in marketing. My summer internship at Twitter inspired me to switch careers from marketing to product.

Now, I’m a product manager at Readdle. Together with a talented team of 10 people I’m pushing the boundaries of mobile scanning with Scanner Pro

Market-product fit is such an important concept for businesses. Here’s a video of me speaking about it.

As a former marketing person I’m very passionate about understanding what drives people. Thus, I love speaking about user research and customer analytics.
