I'm Kristen K Makanoa    just call me K.

I'm K, a Product Manager, collaborator, and relentless advocate for the user. I'm currently open to new opportunities where great work and real impact matter.

Most recently, I spent 5.5 years at PDCflow, a fully remote fintech company, leading product management for their SaaS platform for payments and secure communications. Over more than 10 years in product management, UX/UI design, and brand development, I've focused on creating user-centric solutions that deliver measurable value.

I work best in close partnership with engineers and stakeholders, translating business goals into products that actually move the needle. Remote work sharpened how I show up: I rely on trust, clarity, and accountability, not proximity, to keep teams aligned and shipping.

I'm now looking for my next role on a team that values sharp thinking, real collaboration, and building things that matter. I want work that challenges me, grows with me, and makes a meaningful difference for the people and businesses it serves. If that sounds like a fit, I'd love to connect.
