@cristiansantucci
Hybrid Product Owner and startup founder driving human-centered digital products.
NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
I am a hybrid Product Owner and startup founder with a creative, entrepreneurial edge and a track record of building and scaling SaaS/PaaS products for B2B clients. I have led product strategy and delivery for ERP/CRM platforms supporting 80+ brands in EMEA and co-founded an InsurTech SaaS that grew to 160 client agencies, managing millions of records and PDFs while delivering 600% revenue growth and major cost reductions.
I combine hands-on product leadership with certifications (PMP, PSPO1, SCM1, AWS CLF-C01, ITIL 4 Foundation) and experience coaching teams in agile practices. My neurodivergent perspective (ADHD) fuels rapid pattern recognition and unconventional problem-solving; I seek roles that value innovation, autonomy, and horizontal collaboration while mentoring and enabling cross-functional teams.
