About

Professional summary

I am a Product Manager with six years of experience building payments, subscription, mobile, marketplace, and data-driven products.

I currently own end-to-end payments and billing for two consumer applications, leading cross-functional product delivery from discovery and roadmap definition through execution and measurement.

I have led payment infrastructure at international scale, including card routing, tokenization, payment-provider integrations, fraud and compliance responses, and installment-payment launches across multiple markets.

I use customer discovery, product analytics, experimentation, SQL, and business metrics to identify opportunities, improve conversion, reduce failures, and grow engagement.

I am experienced in leading engineering and design teams in ambiguous environments, translating commercial and user insights into clear product priorities, PRDs, user stories, and scalable solutions.

I am fluent in English, a native Portuguese speaker, and have advanced Spanish proficiency.

Career history

Senior Product Owner AIR Company

I lead two squads of five backend and frontend developers each as the sole product owner for payments and subscriptions at Latin America's largest automaker. I own the product roadmap end to end across payment providers and the billing lifecycle for free, paid, and trial flows.

I redesigned TTL and webhook logic to eliminate recurring duplicate-charge failures, reducing three to five daily cases to zero since July. I also improved payment flows, onboarding, and real-time sign-up ingestion, increasing monthly active users 3.7x in nine months, daily transactions by 81.1%, and daily registrations by 73% while reducing drop-off by 40%.

I integrated Apple Pay to reduce checkout abandonment by 80% and support continued growth of the consumer applications.

Product Manager eDreams ODIGEO

I led a squad of seven backend developers and one Product Designer, owning card-payment infrastructure handling more than 50,000 daily transactions across 45 countries for Europe's largest online travel agency.

I owned an ML-based payment-routing engine spanning card networks, banks, and processors in 12 markets, contributing more than €10M in incremental revenue. I delivered tokenization two months ahead of a regulatory deadline, protecting 94% of transaction volume under PSD2 and GDPR.

I also identified and addressed a fraud and compliance exposure affecting 15% of revenue, and launched PayPal installments in five countries, reaching more than 10,000 sales in three months with a 92% payment-success rate.

Product Operations Manager Cantina HCF

I owned payroll and daily operations for a team of eight in an SME food-service business, with full accountability for operational quality.

I designed and implemented accounting-close automation, reducing report-creation time by 45%. I also mapped existing processes, identified waste, and redesigned workflows, helping drive a 26% increase in revenue.

Product Manager & Co-Founder Lab in Hands

I co-founded a B2B healthtech and pharmaceutical marketplace connecting laboratories and doctors. I built the two-sided marketplace from zero to more than 10,000 verified users without external funding.

I led 0-to-1 product development in an ambiguous environment, converting customer and commercial insights into MVPs and product priorities. Following commercial discovery, I led a full pivot from a multi-brand marketplace to a validated white-label model.
