Global Program Management - Retail at Uber

About

Program, strategy, and operations professional with 3.5+ years at Uber working at the intersection of data analysis, customer experience, and cross-functional execution. My work is quantitative and built to drive decisions. I've linked a single product UI change to $1.75M in annualized support cost. Quantified $4.5M in cost reduction opportunities by analyzing retention patterns across 1.8M+ annual contacts. Identified $1.8M+ in automation savings from configurations and thresholds that hadn't been reviewed in years. That work operates across the full problem lifecycle: from identifying where experience breaks down, to sizing the business impact, to driving alignment across product, operations, and regional teams globally. I'm also a daily AI user. Not as a novelty but as a core part of how I work, from automating workflows to building live dashboards that surface insights in real time. Open to opportunities in program management, strategy & operations, and operations analytics. If you think there's a fit, I'd love to connect.
