About

Professional summary

I am a product leader with more than 15 years of experience in financial services and payments across Argentina and Paraguay. I specialize in digital products, payment ecosystems, card issuing and acquiring, and transactional solutions.

I lead multidisciplinary product teams and combine strategic product vision with hands-on execution. My experience includes roadmap definition, prioritization, delivery management, metrics-based decision-making, and collaboration with technology, operations, and business stakeholders.

I have contributed to major payment initiatives, including interoperable QR payments, NFC payments, digital remittances, issuer checkout, corporate cards, and credit-card portfolio integrations. My work has supported product growth, customer-experience improvements, and modernization of financial services.

At Ueno Bank, I lead payment and credit-card product squads and product professionals. I have helped drive market-leading card issuance and QR-payment adoption in Paraguay while evolving the bank's digital payments ecosystem.

I am experienced in leading cross-functional teams, developing product managers, and translating business opportunities into scalable financial products. I am also interested in applying artificial intelligence to streamline product-management processes and accelerate digital product development.
