    Achievements

    Currently, I'm a product manager for a contract management SaaS responsible for the development of all customer-facing features, and customer & user engagement analytics. Here are my achievements:
    • Successfully launched Insights, analytics and an advanced search feature that allows the company to expand its sales channel and increase ARR and active session by 83% and 79%.
    • Managed the development of Workflow, which is strategic to the company's goal of increasing customer retention, user engagement, and differentiation from competitors.
    • Led the development of the company's external API platform, which resulted in its first-ever external application listed in Salesforce’s AppExchange.
    • Implemented user access management system, enterprise security features including SSO/Okta Integration and 2FA in order to expand to large enterprise customers such as banks.
