About

Certified Product Manager with more than 10 years in Business Analysis and Product Management. I have a proven record of focusing on customer needs and delivering value and quality products. As a Product Manager, I am responsible for coordinating the full product development lifecycle, including strategic planning, market research, requirements analysis, product launches, etc. I find it crucial that everyone working on the same project understands the value for the customer and why something is being built. Focusing thoroughly on customer needs and requirements allows me to understand the customers in detail which helps to align all stakeholders around the same goal.
