Jessica Dziedzic — Product, Strategy & Technology

Computer science, applied to business problems.

At PwC, I built Python automation for M&A contract analysis. The tools cut review time and helped the deal team hit its synergy targets faster. That project is what pushed me toward product and strategy work: I liked the technical build, but I liked what it changed for the team even more.

I studied Computer Science and Chinese Language at UVA. I've also worked in cybersecurity, which shaped how I think about risk and tradeoffs.

I'm currently in Qingdao, China, studying Mandarin and learning how differently products get built here. I'm looking for a role in product, strategy, consulting, or technology, where I can work across technical and business teams and help ship things that work.
