I use my 13+ years of expertise in tech and 7+ in finance to bridge the gap within internal teams of developers and business specialists, to better understand the customers’ problems and deliver the right increments and features.

My mission is to lead product teams, removing any impediments, helping them staying on track and adapting to changes, guaranteeing they focus on what really matters. For the c-level, I focus on maximizing ROI, creating awareness to what value really means for the customer, reporting our evolution using KPIs and keeping the delivery of new increments the most predictable as we can, based on release plans and roadmap.

To sum up I would like underline 5 specialties I stand out for:

• Management of digital product lifecycle and strategy, from the conception and discovery to delivery and publishing to the customer;
• Tech Leadership engaged with Engineering and Development, Architecture, DevOps, Cybersecurity and Privacy;
• Early agile adopter and practitioner working in Scrum teams since 2010, as a developer, analyst and as a PO/PM;
• Experience with digital transformation at enterprise level, having passed through its challenges, nuances and oppositions;
• Expertise as a professional and as a customer with the financial system, insurance, private pension funds and other investment products.

I’m currently working for Icatu Seguros, the biggest insurance company on Brazil, not associated with banks, as Product Owner of the client’s area website, similar to an internet banking where clients can invest and manage their products like, pension fund, capitalization and life insurance.

I act as a link between the IT, Products and Marketing departments as a Tech and business lead. I prioritize the business and tech backlogs seeking balance between clients’ needs and c-level requests.

In business we’re focusing on new features that allow more conversion much, like an e-commerce. Besides that, we have a green flag from management to discover, test and implement new features as we see fit.

Now, in tech we’re currently engaged on a migration to new technologies such as Angular 14 and .NET 6.

My intention here is to seek professional expertise, a change of scenery, better salary and the opportunity to engage with global talents and audiences.
