Sofia Lazaro
@sofialazaro
Product manager delivering customer-centric MVPs and launching XR and eCommerce software products across enterprise and federal teams.
What I'm looking for
I’ve owned product work from ideation through launch at D AUNTLESS XR, managing user research, requirements, user stories, backlog prioritization, testing, and go-to-market for 5+ XR software projects across three Federal agencies.
I’ve worked closely with CEO and CTO teams to refine product vision, set key performance metrics, and keep engineering backlogs aligned across defense and commercial use cases—then adapted products for commercial release, including authoring LinkedIn articles, website blogs, and eBooks to grow organic traffic by +11% YOY.
Before that, at Home Depot I scaled intake and product marketing processes, supported 10M+ annually in capital investment for online product solutions, and led teams that improved quoting and configuration experiences—like an online custom countertop configurator that increased measurement appointment booking by 10%.
