My philosophy

I am guided by a “principles first” approach, and I strongly believe in grounding decisions based on core values, mission, and long-term objectives. Unlike approaches that react to short-term pressures or market trends, I believe in making sure that the product development remains purposeful. 

• Alignment with core values – from a concept to a feature – every product decision must reflect company’s vision, mission and foundational principles
• The “Why” – understand the deeper purpose of the product, rather than “quick wins”
• Sustainability over speed – make the product last, don’t go try catching another market wave

The benefits I see from this approach in my work are many. For example, it enables better and faster prioritization, meaningful roadmaps, helps create a product that delivers lasting value. It also doesn’t have to compare with Lean or Agile – it can partner. But what makes it stand out is the way it enables product teams to build with intention for a lasting, impactful outcomes.
