What I'm looking for
I am a Product and Project Manager with strong experience in managing strategic and high-impact initiatives. Throughout my career, I have led cross-functional teams to deliver results in complex environments, working closely with stakeholders and using Agile methodologies and Lean Six Sigma to drive efficiency and innovation.
I have a background in Chemical Engineering, combined with hands-on experience in product development, process optimization, supplier management, and negotiation, working both in large corporations like Whirlpool and in e-commerce companies like Consolatio, where I have also led product portfolio expansion and supplier sourcing.
Some of my key achievements include leading a $20M financial transformation project in LATAM, implementing continuous improvement initiatives that reduced operational time by 90%, and managing the development of new products aligned with customer needs and business strategies.
I am passionate about creating solutions that simplify processes, improve customer experience, and generate value for the business. I enjoy working in dynamic environments that challenge me to think strategically while collaborating across different teams.
Additionally, I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to work in multicultural and international contexts.
I am currently seeking new opportunities to contribute to innovative companies as a Product Manager, helping to develop impactful products and optimize business processes.
