I find the problem worth solving, then get a team to ship it on a steady rhythm.
03 — About
I’ve been a product manager for nine years, mostly in payments and digital banking. I’m strongest at the start of a problem: research, sizing and saying no.
I lead squads of engineers and designers, write short specs people read, and measure everything against one number agreed before we start.

01Instalments at checkout+
Problem: shoppers abandoned big baskets · Regional payments app
Interviewed 40 shoppers, found price shock at the final step, and shipped split-in-four payments in 9 weeks. Basket size up 31%, with defaults under target.
02Onboarding in 4 minutes+
Problem: 19-minute account opening · Digital bank
Mapped every step with compliance, removed seven screens and added Emirates ID scanning. Drop-off fell by 62% and approvals came same day.
03Merchant dashboard+
Problem: merchants called support for every report · Payments platform
Built the three reports merchants asked for most, in Arabic and English. Support tickets halved and NPS more than doubled.
