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 build shared understanding before committing development.

04

Development

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

05

Launch

Selective deployment: standard or feature flags, progressive rollout and A/B testing to assess whether the goal was met.

06

Analytics

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

Beyond the PM

Founder several times. 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 to attract them.

Journey

Experience

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.

Turned a newly built SaaS into the company's business model: redefined the ICP, digitalized the operation and opened a channel with the Sesame HR partnership.

Validated review fraud with users and brands before building anything; defined the MVP with voice verification and AI, and supported the CEO in the pre-seed fundraising.

Organised growth around the lifecycle rather than features: monthly churn from 16% to 10%, with activation, engagement and retention as the roadmap's levers.

Researched and defined features for the contributors area; redesigned sign-up and onboarding, where 75% dropped off, and owned the squad's OKRs.

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.

-

Digital Marketing Manager
Ontecnia (Malavida, Lecturalia, BonViveur…)
