About Me

Product Manager. Strategist.
Impact Driver.

Walid El Alaoui

I'm a Lead Product Manager at UPS with 7+ years of experience owning B2C and enterprise products at global scale. My engineering background — a B.S. in Industrial Engineering — gives me the analytical depth to go beyond instinct. I build data-driven cases, model ROI, and deliver solutions that actually stick.

My name has become synonymous with the products I manage — not because I oversee them, but because I immerse in them. I understand the users, the systems, the edge cases, and the downstream impact. I've driven $3.5MM in annual savings, deployed systems across 40+ countries, and turned regulatory requirements into competitive advantages.

Currently completing my MBA at Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business to sharpen my strategic and financial toolkit. I'm actively targeting a Senior PM or Director of Product role where I can bring that same ownership mentality to products that scale globally.
