Hi, I'm Benedict 👋

I’m a curious product manager and builder with entrepreneurial drive and a multi-disciplinary toolkit spanning software engineering, design, and business development. I excel at leading cross-functional teams, taking products from zero to one, and turning innovations into market-ready solutions. I thrive in ambiguity, value resourcefulness, and believe collaboration is the fastest way to meaningful outcomes. My time in Shanghai taught me global-mindedness, adaptability, and the grit to hustle. Let’s connect and explore how we can create something impactful together!
