I build products where money moves and trust has to be earned.
Seven years owning payments end-to-end — integrations, checkout, billing, market expansion. I work at the intersection of financial systems and user behaviour: where a bad decision costs real money, and a good one compounds.
I go to the source before committing to a solution
The first framing of a problem is usually someone's assumption. I query the data, talk to the operators, and let the evidence reshape the question before building anything.
Measurement is a design decision, not an afterthought
Pre-registered experiments. Dispute backtests timed to window closure. Dashboards built because the instrument didn't exist yet. Rigour is how I earn the numbers I cite.
When something is blocked, I look for the third option
A hard no from leadership isn't always the end. A validation bet, a segmented experiment, a redirected framing — constraints often produce sharper solutions than open mandates.
I surface structural problems honestly, even when it costs me
Twice I told my manager I couldn't do justice to two surfaces simultaneously. Both times a new team was created. I'd rather lose scope than quietly underdeliver on both.
A bit about me
I came into product through engineering and finance — a risk manager at Optiver before I realised what I actually liked was finding hard problems in transactional systems and building things that solved them. I didn't yet know that work was called product management.
I've been at FareHarbor since 2019, where I've owned Payments end-to-end across two product teams. I'm based in Amsterdam.
