About

Project/product manager with over 8 years of experience in tech and entertainment combined. Very focused on effective leadership and culture. Coming from a gamification background, which is an area of study that is, holistically, focused on the human being and its core motivational drives, I grew to value trust, transparency and a positive/constructive feedback culture a whole lot. If you pair that with my luck of having been able to have good mentors and leaders throughout all stages of my development, from my dad to teachers and business leaders, I became a person who is naturally ambitious and instrinsically driven by processes that challenge me to become better, and by helping and elevating others to do the same. Passionate about videogames and esports.
