Experience

Product Manager, Balyasny Asset Management

Balyasny Asset Management is a global Hedge Fund with over $20 Billion in assets under management. As a product manager, I built best in class investment products with a focus on the fundamental equities business. My clients were 120+ portfolio managers, their teams of 2-15 analysts each, and some business teams including Risk, Analyst Development, Broker Relations, and Portfolio Management Development. 

I partnered with 2 other Product Managers, 30+ Developers, 3 Designers, and various business stakeholders to blend business requirements with user research/feedback to strategically plan and execute product development. I led efforts on the enhancement and conceptualization of various web-based products, and the firm's iOS mobile trading application.

Product Analyst, NYU MakerSpace 

The MakerSpace is a space for students at New York University to ideate, prototype, and build their product ideas. The MakerSpace's Design Lab also offers workshops on machines like 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, CNC Machines, etc., and software skills like programming an Arduino, using Figma, and the Adobe Creative Suite. It also hosts industry experts to deliver informational talks about how they use concepts of Design Thinking in their fields. 

I improved the quantity and quality offerings of the MakerSpace Design Lab to students, staff, and faculty at NYU, by empathizing with students to understand their needs. I used data-driven approaches to create a go-to-market strategy which resulted in an increase in participation across NYU by over 90% YoY.

Product Manager Intern, Fath Components GmbH

Fath GmbH is a Germany-based leader in innovation and a developer of intelligent system solutions for manufacturing. It boasts a large product catalog of mechanical components aimed towards increasing efficiency on manufacturing shop floors.

As an intern in the summer and fall of 2018, I was able to flex my product management muscles for the very first time. Communicating with suppliers, engineers, manufacturers, and design teams across 3 countries, I was able to craft a product roadmap to launch a product in just 5 months. Moreover, receiving an order worth $300,000 for the product I launched was a boost in confidence.
