My core belief as a manager is that true leadership is servant leadership. My primary focus is on the success and growth of my direct reports. I am committed to creating an environment where each individual feels empowered, supported, and challenged to achieve their full potential. This means actively listening, providing constructive feedback, advocating for their needs, and removing obstacles so they can do their best work. When my team thrives, our research excels.
Beyond individual success, I see it as my responsibility to cultivate a culture of collaboration. UX research is most impactful when it's integrated seamlessly across the organization. I strive to foster strong partnerships, break down silos, and ensure that our research insights are shared effectively and understood broadly.

Ultimately, all our efforts are directed toward a clear purpose: ensuring UX research directly supports and advances our business goals. By aligning our research activities with strategic objectives, we not only deliver valuable insights but also demonstrate the tangible impact of UX research on the company's success. My role is to bridge the gap between user understanding and business outcomes, driving meaningful change through data-informed decisions.
