À propos de Danielle

I help companies turn AI ambition and complex data into products that ship, scale, and drive measurable revenue.

I partner with product, data, engineering and business teams to design and deliver AI/ML and data-driven products across the full lifecycle, from strategy and discovery to execution and scaling.

I specialise in personalisation, discovery, and growth systems, building AI-powered products that improve conversion, engagement, and revenue across B2C, B2B, and B2B2C platforms.

What sets me apart is a full-stack perspective. With a background in product marketing and growth, I build products that are not only functional, but discoverable, adoptable, and commercially impactful.

Selected impact:
  • Heineken: ~2% incremental revenue via AI recommendations
  • Otrium: +2% conversion, +4% sell-through, +25% CTR
  • Karooooo: login success 40% → 89%, +40% engagement
