Javier Herrera
@javierherrera
Product Manager who turns ambiguous needs into shipped digital products—driving measurable growth in fintech, MedTech, and ERP.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Product Manager with 5+ years of experience owning product vision, strategy, roadmaps, and end-to-end delivery for digital products in fintech, MedTech, and enterprise software across Latin America. I combine discovery and user research with agile execution to translate ambiguous business and user needs into prioritized backlogs and scalable solutions.
I co-founded a QR payment network regulated by the Central Bank of Costa Rica—leading discovery, user research, go-to-market execution, and agile delivery from zero to launch in 11 months, growing monthly transactions by 113%. I’ve delivered customer-facing and regulated solutions end-to-end, including the U.S. Contact Center MVP (AWS Connect + Salesforce) in under 3 months and implementing the European Contact Center under strict regulatory compliance.
Today, as a Product Manager & Business Consultant, I lead end-to-end delivery for ERP implementations (Odoo V16/V19), owning backlog prioritization, user story writing, sprint planning, and production releases. I also help SMB clients restructure operational processes and improve outcomes—such as generating $72K in additional annual revenue and reducing accounts receivable cycle from 15 to 3 days—while producing executive roadmap reports that track progress, risks, and deviations.
