About me
Hi, I'm Kayla Calvillo
I'm a goal-oriented, data-driven, customer-obsessed Lead Product Manager passionate about enabling technology to optimize true innovation.
Throughout my life, I've always been energized by healthy competition. Growing up in St. Louis, Missouri, I was a competitive figure skater and student researcher who intensely sought after achievements in both areas. This personal fire was further stoked at The Ohio State University, where I studied Health Sciences on a full ride scholarship.
Competition is so magnetic to me because it imbues the ultimate motivation for peak performance. Healthy competition, specifically, has the potential to inspire confidence within all involved to reach for moonshot goals. As I got older, my hunger for competition transcended to my professional career, distilled in a personal tenet that I live by: compete with the person I was yesterday to be the best version of myself today.
As a career that's abundant with opportunities to both challenge and better myself, Product Management immediately enchanted me. I was electrified by the opportunity to leverage my background in customer experience, where I became a champion for the voice of the customer, as well as data analysis, where I fell in love with pouring over large datasets to pull out key insights.
Now, my goal is not only to be a great Product Manager, but also a great leader within the product community, one who helps foster the spirit of curiosity and continuous discovery, teamwork and trust over individual gain, an everlasting desire to learn and grow, and appreciation for the capacity to flourish through failure. I humbly open my mind and heart to inspiration and mentorship rooted in goodwill, and will return the same in kind.
