Elena Nogales

Owned the product direction for logistics automation and computer vision solutions, combining AMRs, voice and execution-layer integration. Defined roadmap priorities and functional requirements, validated high-value operational use cases, and aligned R&D, marketing, sales and partners to turn market needs into scalable product decisions and go-to-market execution.

Led EMEA market development for Celerway’s multi-WAN and edge platform, designed for resilient connectivity in mobile and mission-critical operations. Worked with customers, operators and partners to identify use cases, shape positioning and product requirements, and feed market insight into product improvements across the region.

Managed executive relationships with Zebra’s largest global partners, covering accounts generating over $100M in annual revenue. Brought strategic partner and market feedback into solution positioning, commercial priorities and identification of new product opportunities, bridging global ecosystem needs with internal decision-making.

Led EMEA market development for autonomous mobile robots in logistics and manufacturing. Evaluated and prioritized use cases based on business value, technical feasibility and scalability, and worked with customers and partners to accelerate adoption across Europe while feeding regional needs into product and market strategy.

Developed the European market and supported international expansion outside the U.S. for autonomous mobile robots, identifying automation needs and defining high-value warehouse and industrial use cases. Translated operational challenges into viable AMR applications and built customer and partner opportunities across diverse logistics and manufacturing environments.

Supported the launch of a smart video intercom, access control and home automation solution from early product definition through market positioning. Conducted competitive and customer research to identify differentiation opportunities, translating market insights into product requirements and prioritization decisions.

Supported the deployment and integration of thermal imaging solutions across EMEA, while providing worldwide technical support for security, maritime, public-sector and industrial applications. Led demos, training and troubleshooting, and translated field feedback into actionable input for R&D, Product and QA.

Validated FLIR’s SDK for thermal camera integration, testing new R&D features, reviewing API parameters and technical documentation, and troubleshooting integration issues. Worked across C++, C#, .NET, Linux and Windows to improve SDK quality and developer usability.

Completed all coursework for the Master’s in Electronic Systems Design. The program later shifted toward a PhD-oriented research track, which was not aligned with my professional goals, so I did not complete the final project. The coursework strengthened my understanding of product architecture, system integration and the full product lifecycle.

Earned a merit-based scholarship throughout my studies and served as a Mathematics Tutor from my second year. Completed my Electrical Engineering degree across the Madrid and St. Louis campuses, combining a strong analytical and technical foundation with an international academic experience.

Executive MBA focused on business strategy, leadership and management, complementing a technical background with broader commercial and organizational perspective.
