My Role:

• Facilitated shaping activities, product strategy, and roadmapping

• Led cross-functional remote team

Product Evolution:

• Stress testing was originally conducted with excel, by various analysts, in different ways. An analyst was required to explain the results and changes took weeks

• There was a steep learning curve to understand complicated financial concepts like derivatives market, statistics, hedging, etc.

• Strategically focused on specific industry types for first version (risk factors can vary widely by industry)

• North star: Allow CFOs to stress test their companies financials so they can make more informed timely decisions

• Our first major pivot was to focus on the analyst as the primary user for the tool (with the exception of outputs pages)

• Second major pivot was to shift to a second industry type based on early sales conversations
