@ruimendes
I build data-driven B2B and platform products from discovery through measurable delivery.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
At Markant Gruppe, I own the backlog and roadmap for a B2B digital marketplace serving hundreds of enterprise clients across the DACH region. I've led UX discovery and delivered a navigation redesign, unified notification framework, service audit trail, and Power BI analytics dashboard.
Previously at Farfetch, I led product management for three cross-functional engineering teams automating internal data flows across a global luxury e-commerce platform. I owned DataHub end to end, helping reduce data-ingestion time to market from 32 days to 1–2 days through self-service pipeline configuration.
I've also delivered ISO 22301 business continuity consulting for Vodafone and Galp at KPMG. My engineering foundation helps me connect stakeholders, engineering teams, product strategy, roadmaps, and Agile delivery.
