Though most people just call me "KS".
I am a Product Leader with a deep passion for building and scaling high-impact software, untangling complex commercial problems, and empowering cross-functional teams to execute with autonomy and speed.
Most product consultants understand Agile. Very few understand P&L. With over 15 years in corporate finance (managing planning and forecasting for global giants like Bunge, Firmenich, and HP) and 9+ years in global product ownership, I bridge the gap between commercial strategy and technical execution. I approach product not just as a feature factory, but as a lever for financial return.
At Cimpress (Nasdaq: CMPR), I led end-to-end product development for the financial flows of a mass-customization SaaS platform processing $700M+ in annual transaction volume. My mandate involved leading globally distributed engineering and design teams across the US, Switzerland, and India, driving platform-wide improvements that reduced manual errors by 85% and significantly optimized checkout conversion.
I don't just advise; I build organizations. I have a proven track record of restructuring underperforming global teams, successfully establishing high-performing engineering hubs in Bengaluru that improved delivery velocity by 40%. This direct operational experience powers my Global Engineering Partnership offering, ensuring you get predictable, high-quality software delivery.
I back my strategic advisory with strong commercial and technical foundations. I hold an Executive MBA in Digital Transformation from the University of Zürich, alongside Masters and Bachelors degrees in International Business and Mathematics. Practically, I am fluent in the tools required for modern data-driven decision-making, from SQL and Python to Looker and Tableau.
Most organizations do not lack vision; they lack the organizational muscle to connect high-level strategy to ground-level execution. Product roadmaps become wishlists. Engineering builds features that don't drive revenue. Commercial and technical teams operate in silos.
As a Product Leader, Advisor, Operator, and Mentor, my role is to eliminate this friction. I draw upon deep experience across product management, engineering delivery, and organizational transformation to diagnose structural issues and implement pragmatic, executable solutions.
"I do not sell consulting theory. I focus relentlessly on practical execution, equipping your organization to build products that customers actually need."
Whether I am advising a CEO on a strategic pivot, designing a resilient product operating model, or embedding with a team to drive discovery, my mandate is simple: protect your engineering investments and accelerate your market impact.
