Who I am

About me

Senior Product Manager, Pure Ventures

I love turning complex problems into simple products that move business metrics. I've built and led a high-performing Product & Tech team at Yoopies, and worked as a Senior PM across different environments — startups, scale-ups and marketplaces — always with the same goal: deliver value, raise the bar, and make the people around me better.

Off the clock, I'm captain and coach of FC Pinata, a 7-a-side football team. Same mindset on and off the pitch: bring energy, improve your teammates, and aim for the win.
