Product Innovation Lead @ Youtheory
About
MY APPROACH: I am known for my ability to think outside the norm and ideate product innovation and business marketing plans that detail how I will hit company financial targets. I first identify key consumer insights and competition to pull out relevant data, insights, content hooks, and relevant drivers. These shape my strategies for product offerings, pricing, launch decisions, target audience, positioning, and retailer/channel programs. Following that, I inspire and partner with key cross-functionals and agencies to bring those strategies to life and drive consumer awareness, engagement, and purchase. At the core of every decision is the impact to the consumer experience keeping a consumer-led mindset at the forefront. As I progress in my career, I have developed a strong passion to lead, develop and support people with a strong focus on the “5 Big Rocks” approach. Expertise includes: • Product Strategy + Roadmapping • User Experience & Feature Prioritizations • Product Lifecycle Management • Financial & Competitive Analysis • Motivational Cross-functional Leadership • Converting Insights to Action • Highly Motivated Self-starter • Empathetic & Growth Mindset Leadership style
