PROFILE

Product executive with 7+ years in iGaming, taking products from zero to scale across Tier-1 (Canada, Australia, Germany,
Switzerland), India, Bangladesh, LATAM and crypto-grey markets. Background rooted in Business & Systems Analysis, giving
native fluency in how products are actually built, integrated and shipped — no translation layer needed between product and
engineering. Full P&L ownership, cross-functional team-building from scratch, and direct ownership of every metric from GGR
to LTV to VIP retention. Currently Head of Product, reporting directly to shareholders and C-suite.

KEY IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

• Traffic payback achieved within 1 month of a from-scratch product launch (idea → live → break-even).
• Facebook R2D (Australia): 15.5% → 43% | 2nd-deposit conversion: 17–20% → 45% — via PM-led audience targeting
recommendations to the Affiliate team and per-source funnel optimization.
• Reg-to-deposit (Tier-1): 15% → 33% | Repeated-deposit conversion: +30% through feature experimentation.
• User retention: 15% → 25% | FTD approval for credit-card users: 35% → 55%
• Designed a withdrawal-hold and VIP mechanic that lifted LTV, average deposit size, GGR, R2D and VIP-player share
simultaneously (detail below).

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Head of Product | In-house casino product (LATAM / multi-geo)Jul 2025 – Present
• Launched a project from scratch and drove it to full traffic payback within the first month — market research, MVP
scoping, business-case modelling, cross-team delivery plan.
• Built and lead a cross-functional team of 10: 2 Product Managers, Game Manager, 2 Content Managers, Designer, 2 CRM
Managers, CGM Manager; set OKRs and owned delivery end-to-end.

• Receive business goals from owners and decompose them into actionable, timelined delivery plans across product,

• Author PRDs, TRDs and full product documentation; prioritize backlog and coordinate cross-functional delivery.
• Withdrawal-hold & VIP mechanic (designed and shipped): trust-based instant withdrawal for new users → time-based
holds through the 5th deposit → tiered withdrawal limits → targeted free-spin offers to re-engage held users → VIP club
unlocked by balance thresholds (personal manager, individualized interaction, exclusive VIP draws). Result: reduced
early-stage fraud exposure while measurably lifting retention and VIP conversion.
• Activity-based gamification layer (most complex feature owned): users earn in-product coins for defined actions,
spendable in internal games (wheel of fortune, scratch cards, slots); rewards feed into a puzzle-collection mechanic tied to
seasonal prize draws. Impact: LTV ↑, average deposit ↑, GGR ↑, R2D ↑, VIP player share ↑.
