Travilous is a social travel app that connects travelers through peer-to-peer recommendations and enables them to journal and share their travel experiences. Available on the App Store. • With three years of combined experience as a founder and product manager at my own travel tech startup Travilous, I had participated in the whole process of project proposal, design, research, implementation and iteration. I was responsible for monitoring and attaining project-specific KPIs and milestones while working in small, remote and interdisciplinary team. • I have experience of going through a full product lifecycle, integrating customer feedback into product requirements, driving backlog prioritization, pre/post-launch execution analysis, creating product roadmaps from conception to launch, driving the product vision, defining go-to-market strategy, and leading design and development discussions. • Managed a team of 13 people in marketing and reached cumulatively over 1 million people across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter over the past year. • Constructed the company’s financial projections and business plan resulting in the acceptance into the Harvard Innovation Labs startup program. Incubated at the Harvard Innovation Labs Venture Program. Show less
