ETG offers numerous benefits including corporate travel prices, support for language learning, and MyTime Day Off for work-life balance. We prioritize employee well-being and development, ensuring a rewarding experience for our Product Directors.

In managing a product team, I prioritize clear communication, individual development, and collaborative goal-setting. By fostering an open dialogue and encouraging team members to share their ideas, I create a supportive environment that drives innovation and results.

I prioritize features based on a combination of user feedback, business impact, and technical feasibility. By analyzing data and engaging with stakeholders, I aim to strike a balance that serves both the users’ needs and our business objectives.

To improve search capabilities, I focus on enhancing data accuracy, refining algorithms, and leveraging user behavior insights. Regular A/B testing helps me optimize features while ensuring we stay responsive to users’ needs.

I approach conflicts by facilitating open discussions to understand differing viewpoints. Ensuring everyone feels heard is vital; from there, we can collaboratively find solutions that align with our project goals and the team's well-being.

Data analysis is central to my decision-making process. I utilize metrics to gauge product performance, which informs our strategies and helps assess if we need to pivot or reinforce our existing plans.

One successful project I led involved revamping our recommendation system. By leveraging user feedback and data analysis, we improved engagement by 30%. Success stemmed from a clear vision, teamwork, and aligning project goals with user satisfaction.

I have worked extensively with legacy systems and understand the balance required between innovating and maintaining existing technology. My approach involves assessing the impact on users while gradually integrating improvements.

Post-launch, I measure success by tracking specific KPIs related to user engagement, retention rates, and revenue generation. I also collect user feedback to identify areas for improvement.

Essential to coaching is understanding each team member’s strengths and aspirations. I foster a growth mindset by providing constructive feedback, encouraging continuous learning, and facilitating opportunities for professional development.

I ensure alignment by consistently communicating with stakeholders and gathering input during the strategy formation process. By keeping business goals at the forefront, I guide the team to develop products that drive relevant outcomes.
