What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in product management and project execution to drive impactful results.

With over six years of experience in product and project management across diverse industries such as Financial Services, Automotive, and Retail, I have honed my skills in delivering successful projects through effective communication and a proactive approach. My expertise lies in both agile and traditional methodologies, allowing me to adapt to various project environments and ensure efficient execution.

In my recent role as a Project/Product Manager at Starfish.team, I successfully led a multidisciplinary team to deliver a complete software product, managing parallel projects and aligning resources with international stakeholders. My strong sales and technical skills enable me to bridge the gap between customer needs and product development, ensuring that our solutions meet market demands. I am passionate about leveraging data to inform strategic decisions and enhance product offerings, and I continuously seek opportunities to lead side projects that contribute to organizational goals.
