What I'm looking for
I'm a Product Manager who turns complex, messy problems into digital products people actually use. I've taken products from discovery to launch across six countries, working with distributed teams spanning Latin America, the US and India.
A few results I'm proud of:
Generated USD $2M in savings through automation and cut portfolio cycle times by 95%
Halved customer transaction time and improved profit margin with a new pricing model built on Jobs to Be Done
Redesigned a mobile app end-to-end, reaching a 4.8/5 rating
Turned a 5-day manual payments workflow into fully automatic execution
I work best where strategy meets execution: running discovery, prioritizing with RICE and OKRs, aligning stakeholders from engineers to executives, and shipping. I'm experienced in fully remote roles and comfortable working async across time zones and cultures.
M.Sc. in Innovation and Technology Management. Certified Product Owner. Spanish (native), English (advanced).
