Gonzalo Emanuel Costello

At Groupe Renault Argentina, I owned the Exterior Accessories project perimeter for the Niagara vehicle program, taking it from concept through validation. I delivered a €90K project one week early and under budget, meeting manufacturing cost and validation testing targets.

I coordinated a remote team of designers in India, setting priorities, allocating work and following up on progress. I also served as the point of contact for internal teams and external suppliers, aligning technical work and deadlines across countries and time zones.

For the Niagara program, I assessed requirements and feasibility, identified risks and trade-offs, and led validation and acceptance activities. I maintained traceability and project documentation, reported status and issues, and provided final sign-off before releases.

Earlier at Groupe Renault Argentina, I managed design work packages for interior trims, exterior accessories and seats. I also acted as Product Owner in Agile initiatives, prioritizing the backlog, setting sprint objectives and following up on delivery.
