Hello there! I'm Sudha

I’m all about turning complex problems into simple, delightful solutions. Whether it’s launching a feature, refining a process, or crafting strategy, I create products that wow! Leading teams through the full product lifecycle, from big ideas to “aha!” moments, I’m driven by impact.
Data-driven decisions? Check. Collaborative teamwork? Absolutely. And always with a dash of fun.
I’ve spent years building products that not only solve real problems but inspire users. I’m passionate about creating solutions that leave a mark—because great products come from heart, hustle, and a relentless drive to make things better.
Let’s create something awesome together!

My Skills

Being a product manager means no two days are alike! From uncovering user needs to solving problems and crafting strategies, I thrive on the variety. I’m great at turning insights into action and leading teams toward a shared vision. Whether I’m designing products, improving processes, or sparking innovation, I bring a fresh perspective and a hands-on approach to every project. Here are a few of the strengths I bring to the table.

Build & Communicate Strategy

I feel passionately about the challenges my users' face and delivering solutions that surpass those of my competitors. I build a clear strategy keeping one eye on my users' needs and the other on the company's goals. I share that vision with my stakeholdres and users to create the same passion amongst them.

Team Leadership

I believe in empowering my team to clearly understand the 'what's' and the 'why's' so they can own the 'how's' with confidence. I aim to create a space where people love to think outside the box and are not scared of making a mistake.

Cross-team Partnership

Collaboration in product management empowers teams to solve complex problems and achieve goals that no individual could reach alone. I believe in partnering closely with my engineering, design, marketing, sales, CS and other teams as each of them are pieces to the puzzle that'll get us closer to our goals.

Research and Data-Driven

Research is essential to cover the journey from an idea to impact. I aim to understand my user's needs, what's working and what's not, and where are we falling short. I aim to build products backed by data.

Techincal Proficiency

I understand what it takes to convert the product vision into a reality through technology. I'm skilled in agile methodologies. And I can talk shop with my engineering team, so that we work in complete tandem.

Self-starter

If I see a problem, it's mine to solve. A mentor once told me: 'Don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness'. That has become my guiding principle at work. My aim is to stay outside my comfort zone. I challenge myself, allow myself to make mistakes, and learn from them so I don't repeat them.

My Accomplishments

Success isn’t just luck—it’s the result of hard work, learning, and a passion for building something meaningful. Throughout my career, I’ve been focused on creating products that not only drive user growth but also deliver real value to people. By leading with user-centric strategies and scaling products to reach more users, I’ve been able to grow product adoption and hit key business milestones.
Here are some highlights from my journey in building impactful, results-driven solutions.

Post Lease Changes

HappyCo ✦ Product Manager

In property management, making changes to an executed legal lease is often complex and time-consuming. I led the Post-Lease Changes project, a key part of our B2B SaaS leasing solution at HappyCo, which empowers property managers to easily modify finalized leases while staying fully compliant with regulations. Despite the complexity of regulatory requirements, we focused on delivering a simple and intuitive experience, enabling seamless adoption. By streamlining this critical process, we enhanced lease management efficiency and drove growth by making it easier for users to embrace the solution.

Agent Directory and Listing Details page

Homes.com (CoStar Group) ✦ Group Product Manager

Buying or selling a home is an emotional journey, and finding the right agent can be a game-changer. I led the redesign of the Agent Directory and Listing Details experience on Homes.com, making it easier for buyers and sellers to connect with their ideal agents. The new Agent Directory streamlined the search for top agents, while the revamped Listing Detail page offered a comprehensive view of property details, driving more engagement. These improvements contributed to Homes.com becoming a go-to platform for users, boosting both traffic and user growth significantly.

Rental Application and Screening Reports

Apartments.com (CoStar Group) ✦ Senior Product Manager

I helped develop an online rental application and screening reports platform at Apartments.com that simplified the entire process for property managers. By consolidating income-to-rent ratios, employment status, and screening reports (credit, criminal, and eviction) into one convenient platform, we streamlined workflows and ensured compliance with geo-specific regulations. This product drove significant growth, increasing user adoption and expanding its reach across multiple regions. By making the process easier for both managers and applicants, we saw a marked improvement in user engagement and product usage.

Resident Management System and Digital Leases

Apartments.com (CoStar Group) ✦ Senior Product Manager

I helped build a fully compliant, end-to-end leasing solution as part of Apartments.com’s Resident Management System. This product allowed property managers to generate state-specific, customizable lease agreements tailored to local laws, and streamline the entire leasing process by enabling tenants to sign online—no more paperwork hassle. By making lease management easier and fully digital, we positioned Apartments.com as the go-to platform for both advertising and property management. This user-centric approach not only simplified workflows but also significantly expanded our user base and adoption rates.

User Management

Apartments.com (CoStar Group) ✦ Product Manager

I developed a user management platform for Property Management Companies (PMCs) at Apartments.com, designed to streamline how company admins manage agents and their access to property management tools. With just a few clicks, admins could efficiently add or remove agents, manage permissions, and assign or unassign property listings, greatly simplifying a traditionally complex process. This enhanced efficiency not only reduced administrative burdens but also drove significant adoption and growth as more PMCs embraced the platform for its ease of use.

Sudha consistently gave 100% of herself to our team. She is steadfast, reliable, and always comes through - especially in stressful times. Sudha’s strong critical thinking ability and inquisitive mind made it easy for her to drive and lead a wide range of initiatives for us. I had the pleasure of managing Sudha as she took the leap into a manager role on our product team, and I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again.

David Handlong

CoStar ✦ Senior Product Designer

I worked closely with Sudha for nearly 2 years after my company was acquired to help build out a suite of rental management tools for Apartments.com. It was complicated work, and Sudha was excellent at managing it – handling everything from navigating legal compliance, working around major technical constraints, working within tight timelines and shifting priorities, all while putting the user's needs first. I always appreciated Sudha's ability to shape the larger vision while still being very involved in all of the details. She was a great collaborator and a compassionate human.
