Kayla Brizo

Throughout my career I have often found myself as an early member of teams that operated as "start-ups" within an enterprise and have developed a skill set that enables me to quickly gain the trust of multiple stakeholders, discover the underlying issues, and generate solutions to resolve them. I have lead development teams and design thinking workshops in data science, AI, e-commerce, social networking, news media, healthcare, big data (specifically in the music industry and media), quick service restaurants (QSR), and customized Salesforce integrations.

I am a driven and passionate leader who utilizes a wide range of experiences and a high level of user empathy to generate growth and establish new product management teams within both startups and large established global enterprises. Given aggressive timelines and expansive project scopes I am able to quickly dig deep to understand the stakeholders motivations and goals of the project as well as motivate and drive my teams to create flagship products with a charming and frictionless user experience. I have mentored and developed over a dozen professionals in their product management careers and helped them to achieve their professional goals.

Recently completed an MBA with a focus on leadership and business strategy. In progress - entrepreneurship specialisation
