Priscila Costa Bhauwala — Product Manager
From boardrooms to underserved communities — I build programs that close the gap between vision and execution. With 15+ years spanning Brazil, India, and Latin America, I've led large-scale digital transformations, launched solutions across 200+ localities, and built the governance systems that make ambitious ideas actually ship. Co-author of a Jabuti Award-winning book recognised among the Top 10 Creative Economy Books in Brazil — my work sits at the intersection of strategy, community impact, and rigorous execution. As a Senior Program & Product Manager, I specialise in translating ambiguous business challenges into structured, execution-ready programs. I work closely with cross-functional teams across Product, Tech, Operations, and Business, aligning stakeholders, defining clear KPIs, and delivering measurable outcomes across products, services, and user experiences. I've worked across health, education, sustainability, and entrepreneurship — including with startups and small businesses, giving me fluency in the sectors where digital transformation matters most. Whether supporting a public health system reaching 5M+ patients, an education-to-employment network of 20,000+ youth, or early-stage founders building for impact, I bring the same approach: understand the system, design with the people inside it, and build for scale. What sets my work apart is the integration of customer insights, UX research, design thinking, and participatory design. I don't just manage programs, I shape solutions by bringing user and community voices into the room alongside structured delivery frameworks that drive accountability at scale. Fluent in Portuguese and English. Experienced collaborating with global technology and leadership teams across sectors, including corporate, nonprofit, and social enterprise.
