Sila Cities

As a Product Manager at SilaCities, I transformed it from a research tool into a dynamic urban intelligence app. Initially focusing on social media data and BI dashboard analytics, my role involved redesigning the app, aligning data with stakeholders' vision, and developing a user-centric MVP. This reshaped SilaCities into an essential tool for urban planning, leveraging real-time insights to guide city development and urban development analysis.

Overview

Overview Joined the organization at a time when no proprietary product existed and only a third-party BI dashboard was in use, I quickly identified the need for an in-house solution. Within just two months, I assembled a dedicated team, leading to the development of our first MVP. This pivotal step marked the transition from reliance on external tools to the creation of a tailored, in-house product, setting a new direction for our organization's technological capabilities and business intelligence strategy.

Results: The development of our in-house product under my leadership as Product Manager yielded immediate and significant results. Remarkably, right after the launch of our MVP, we secured agreements with two new clients. This success not only validated the product's market fit but also demonstrated the effectiveness of our team's approach to meeting client needs with a tailored solution. Looking ahead, as Product Manager of SilaCities, I'm steering the integration of additional data sources to enhance the app's urban intelligence capabilities. This strategic move is aimed at offering deeper insights and broader urban perspectives, further positioning SilaCities as a leader in the urban planning technology space.
