Over deze freelancer
Als Product Lead met 13+ jaar ervaring help ik tech-bedrijven hun productprocessen naar het volgende niveau te tillen — sneller, scherper, en klantgericht.
I am a technology leader with 13+ years of experience transforming suboptimal products, teams, and processes into high-velocity, revenue-generating engines. I’ve worked primarily in B2B SaaS — including cybersecurity scale-ups — and I’ve earned a reputation for fixing what’s broken and accelerating what works.
What makes me rare: I’m a product leader who codes and designs. As a former front-end developer, I still ship production apps solo and work fluidly across product strategy, UX/UI, architecture, CI/CD, and delivery. I don’t just write specs — I understand what I’m asking engineers to build.
My current focus is AI. I’m completing a Master in AI for Executives at Bologna Business School (one of Europe’s most prestigious AI programs, running throughout 2026), with a strong practical component: I currently lead a team of six on a project I proposed, focused on individuality vectoring using AI. I bring this lens directly to my product work — helping companies figure out not just what to build, but how to build it intelligently.
I hold many certifications including Product Management Level I & II from the Pragmatic Institute, 2024.
