I have worked with a wide range of frameworks and believe that, at the end of the day, no single approach stands alone. Each framework can be adapted, combined, and tailored to fit a company’s culture, values, and goals. Ultimately, it is the organization that defines how it works and frameworks simply serve as a toolbox to support success.
As a Product Owner and Product Manager, I bring a full toolbox of methods and practices to help teams thrive in complex environments. I am familiar with and experienced in frameworks such as Six Sigma, XP, Lean, Agile, Scrum, and SAFe, among others.
This knowledge enables me to address the modern challenges of product management and software development, whether guiding a startup through rapid delivery, supporting a scale-up with structured growth, or helping a large enterprise during audits, cybersecurity initiatives, or product launches.
My goal is simple: to help organizations achieve their objectives effectively, with the right balance of structure, adaptability, and innovation.
