    Achievements

    On the side I product managed the development of an entire SaaS financial services startup's offering which enabled the company to grow to tens of millions in sales in a short period of time, while at the same time at my "day job" I successfully managed the flagship product of a startup which resulted in its acquisition twice-over by two public companies.

    Describe the most impressive thing you've done.
