Description

I turn complex product challenges into shipped solutions — across fintech, marketplaces, and AI-driven platforms.

With 13+ years of experience spanning corporate R&D (Ferrero, Italdesign) and digital product roles (fintech, B2C, SaaS), I work at the intersection of product strategy, UX thinking, and data-driven execution.

Currently operating as a Fractional Product Manager, I support early-stage startups and growth-stage companies in:

— Defining product vision, strategy and MVP roadmap

— Running product discovery and translating user insights into prioritized backlogs

— Designing UX architecture and information systems

— Coordinating cross-functional teams (engineering, design, business)

Recent impact:

— Scaled a fintech renovation marketplace to ~200 active operators, reducing project-closing time by 20%

— Delivered MVP roadmaps for 3 B2C startups in Sport and Music

— Applied LLM-based tools and AI-assisted workflows to accelerate product delivery

Background: MSc Mechanical Engineering (Politecnico di Torino + TU München) · MSc Systemic Design · Master of Product Management (Product Heroes) · AI Builder Masterclass 2026

Based in Turin, Italy. Open to Fractional, Full-Time and Remote opportunities.
