• Proven Platform Leadership: 5+ years leading platform, shared services, data, or API product teams in B2B SaaS, with a track record of centralizing capabilities across autonomous teams.
• Leadership & Influence: 5+ years managing Product Managers and building high-performing technical product organizations. Demonstrated success driving adoption of platform services across teams by building trust, credibility, and alignment.
