About me

+8 years in Product across enterprise + startups. As passionate about people management as I am about cross-functional collaboration to prioritise roadmaps. Relocated to Vancouver after 4 years in London UK, after being offered Tier 2 visa sponsorship by Ticketmaster and Boiler Room. Received Tech Nation's endorsement for a Tier 1 "Exceptional Talent" UK visa in 2019, which enabled me to join ChargedUp, "the Boris Bike of phone charging." Our iOS/Android apps + IoT lets a customer rent a power bank and return it at ~3K stations across our UK network to stay charged on the go.

Awards

Tier 1 Exceptional Talent UK visaTech Nation
In early 2019, Tech Nation endorsed me for an Exceptional Talent visa, both for my professional accomplishments across eCommerce enterprise and startup environments, as well as for my engagement in the digital community. I've strived to focus on diversity and inclusion initiatives, as a visible minority female myself, including mentorship, workshops and hands-on involvement for recruitment end-to-end to remove subconscious bias and improve talent pipelines. This visa enabled me to join the ChargedUp team as their first full-time hire.
