About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Product Manager with more than 12 years of experience building and operating financial products in banking, retail fintech, payments, credit cards, loans, insurance, and open finance.

I lead products throughout the full lifecycle, from customer research, discovery, strategy, and roadmap planning through delivery, launch, operations, and continuous improvement. I translate regulatory, business, vendor, and technical requirements into simple and scalable customer solutions.

My background includes card issuing, card processing, merchant acquiring, billing, digital statements, credit operations, and core financial-product transformation. I have delivered initiatives that improved customer experience, reduced operational costs, and supported nationwide product launches.

I work closely with engineering, operations, fraud, compliance, CRM, marketing, external vendors, and executive stakeholders. I am experienced in Agile delivery, backlog prioritization, user stories, acceptance criteria, UAT, release planning, and KPI-driven decision-making.

I am based in Curitiba, Brazil, and am open to remote international roles. I bring a collaborative, data-driven approach to solving complex financial-services challenges and delivering measurable product outcomes.
