Bio
Kristina Walcker-Mayer
Nuzhat was a VP during my time at Zalando and I directly reported into her. She has built up an inspiring vision for the Zalando main product and delivered on it over her time in the company in a very fast and efficient manner. Nuzhat introduced new ways of working which helped us to raise the quality bar of the product. As my lead, she was a great mentor and role model for me, as she showed us how to level up a product in a short amount of time and how to work in a customer-centric way. She encouraged us to raise and initiate improvements also outside of our area if it improves our product. Nuzhat always went the extra mile and was always seeking for improvements even outside her responsibility areas. Her holistic approach to product helped us to drive consistent change across different parts and areas of the product. I‘m grateful for my time working with Nuzhat, as it was very inspiring and I learned a lot during that time. Every company should be looking forward to work with outstanding, highly motivated talents like Nuzhat, as she brings a high level of ownership, experience and makes things happen in the most efficient way.

I've had the pleasure of working with product and tech leaders across the world. There are very few leaders like Nuzhat who go above and beyond for their team. She is a stellar product leader. Her extensive product experience in a variety of verticals makes her a Jane of all trades. At Tradeling, her primary focus was on building a phenomenal product team and making sure that product is a driving force in the organization. One of her laudable traits is the ability to think wide and deep. She can jump between thinking of problems and products at a 20,000 ft level, and then jump into the smallest details of, say, a user journey. It's hard to find a leader like her who is stellar operationally and someone who truly inspires all the team members. I'd blindly recommend her to any organization who is looking for an outstanding product leader.
