With my 7 years of experience as a Product Manager, I have helped several startups and companies iterate on their ideas and products until they reached product–market fit and grew their user base.
I have worked with companies on building and iterating prototypes and proofs of concept, to scaling a company with over half a million users.
My experience includes driving user research and product development efforts for early-stage startups through seed and Series A fundraising (up to €10M) and for one scaleup with a Series B round of €70M.

I firmly believe that the tech world is undergoing a massive transformation, and we're on the brink of a complete restart, where conventional processes, mindsets, and thinking won't be enough to tackle the emerging challenges. That was my motivation to take a sabbatical break, during which I visited 11 countries in Asia and had the privilege of connecting and working with tech entrepreneurs, investors, and innovative product builders. This extraordinary experience pushed me to think differently, practice creative problem solving, and find simple solutions to various problems. Armed with this wealth of experience and a new perspective, I'm here to transfer the knowledge I've gathered to companies and entrepreneurs. I excel at pinpointing real-life problems, iterating ideas, and crafting meaningful, impactful products that make a difference in today's rapidly changing world.
