You are not a manager for anybody. You are an agile enabler
Fitness in body, agility in strategy.
Product Ownership & Agile Leadership
Hi, I’m Kate — a Product Owner with 7+ years of experience helping SaaS teams turn unclear ideas into focused, workable products.
I work at the intersection of business goals, user needs, and delivery reality — bringing clarity where things feel messy.
I’ve worked with distributed teams, complex stakeholders, and products at different stages — from early discovery to long-term scaling.
My style is simple: clear thinking, honest communication, and steady progress.
WHO AM I ?
Product Owner
Product Manager
Imagine an Agile Product Manager (PSPO) who eats, sleeps, and breathes the thrill of turning ideas into reality. I’m passionate about ensuring effective teamwork among experts and coordinating efforts to create a new, non-existent product.
That’s me!
With a heart beating in Agile rhythms, I’ve found my calling in the conceive and develop stages of the product life cycle, where creativity meets strategy.
My favorite framework?
Scrum, of course! It’s like the secret sauce that transforms good ideas into great products. But don’t be fooled; while I love a well-organized Kanban board, I’m equally enthusiastic about impromptu brainstorming sessions.
Not all heroes wear capes, some manage backlogs.
Agile Leader
As an Agile Leader, my journey has been all about growth and transformation.
From building engineer to IT project manager, and then a Product Owner at Juriba, I’ve embraced change and thrived in diverse roles.
I love empowering teams to deliver their best through Agile practices. Seeing a team come together, overcome challenges, and create amazing products is what drives me.
Great products are born from great teamwork, and I’m here to support and help make that happen!
Fitness Enthusiast & Power Lifter
Recently I lifted 137.5 kg deadlift in sumo stance.
I believe the principles of powerlifting apply to product development: technique, perseverance, and consistency.
Why me?
Why would I be a good fit for your team?
Aside from my hard work and an unwavering commitment to product management I bring my empathy, patience, and a listening ear to every table.
Bringing together a unique blend of analytical prowess, product passion, dedication, and a sprinkle of humour, I’m excited to lift the weights off your shoulders and contribute
Your calm force in product complexity
