Process

How I work

An end-to-end method: from the problem to the data that confirms the goal was met. Six stages that feed one another.

01

Discovery

Interviews, data and business context to separate the real problem from the symptom before proposing a solution.

02

UX

I turn findings into architecture and flows: what the user sees, in what order and why.

03

Prototyping

Clickable prototypes to validate with real users before committing development.

04

Development

Functional definition and coordination with the technical team, from roadmap to release.

05

Launch

I ship with control: feature flags, progressive rollout and A/B testing before exposing the change to every user.

06

Analytics

Instrumentation and metrics to measure real impact and feed the next discovery.

Beyond the PM

Founder more than once. Exit once. From what didn't work out, I learned what no framework teaches.

Before that, years acquiring users — before measuring product, I understood how you attract them.

Career

Career

Product

Ten years leading product in B2B and B2C SaaS — from founder with an exit to Product Manager at startups and scale-ups — with a constant focus on discovery, UX and measurable results.

Earlier experience — Marketing & Growth

This earlier stage in marketing and growth builds the analytical, experimentation and user-first foundation that defines my approach as a Product Manager.

2009 — 2015
