What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead cross-functional teams with Agile practices, drive product strategy and delivery, ensure compliance, and contribute measurable business impact.

I am an Agile Product Owner and Project Manager with over ten years leading software development, integration, and validation initiatives across medical devices, e-commerce, and web applications. I have directed stakeholder management, backlog prioritization, requirements gathering, project planning, and delivery that produced measurable revenue and compliance outcomes.

My track record includes leading 30+ development initiatives that contributed $22.8M revenue for LATAM, coordinating medical technology projects exceeding $1M while ensuring regulatory compliance, and implementing QA/process improvements to accelerate delivery. I coach cross-functional teams in Agile practices, translate business needs into prioritized user stories, and focus on continuous improvement and measurable product success.
