Monique Tavares de Oliveira

Head of Product with a postgraduate degree in User Experience (UX) from PUC-Rio, with experience at leading companies such as Nubank, Nextel, Grupo Casas Bahia, and Carrefour. I began my career as a web designer in 2008, advanced to Specialist UX Designer, and transitioned into product management with a strong foundation in technology, UX, and business. With 16 years in the digital field, I have held senior leadership positions, actively driving strategic decisions, leading cross-functional teams, and aligning business objectives with technological advancements to achieve impactful results.

As a co-creator of the Arcanimal project, now the official adoption platform for the Government of RS, I led a team of 300 volunteers in launching an MVP in just six days. My leadership spans product strategy, market analysis, and cross-functional team management, with a focus on innovation and operational excellence.

I specialize in crafting product strategies through continuous market analysis and driving value-aligned solutions using Discovery frameworks. I am adept at coordinating product operations, from delivery scheduling to prioritization, ensuring quality results within deadlines and budget constraints.

My approach is rooted in problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration, balancing business, technology, and data to unlock new market opportunities and optimize company results. I leverage agile methodologies like Scrum, Kanban, Lean Inception, and Design Thinking to enhance product development and delivery.

I have a proven track record in building, expanding, and restructuring teams, with expertise in defining roles and responsibilities, creating data-driven cultures, and implementing Lean Budget practices and OKRs.
