Maísa in a few words
Hi there! I am Maísa, and I am a Product Manager with a strong track record in startups at different funding stages, from seed to series B, across e-commerce, mobile, Edtech and HRtech; including a pivotal role in the successful acquisition of a startup in 2020. With a proven background of strong stakeholder management and working with cross-functional product teams, driving product success from conception to fruition.

I have a passion for solving the right problem. An agile mindset is what guides me through the process of conducting research/discovery, ideation, validation, and ensuring projects are delivered by their deadlines.

I have excellent communication skills and am able to collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring products to market effectively. Having worked with tech teams since 2011, I feel comfortable and happy working with them.

Have trouble with organising your backlog, prioritising or validating a new business opportunity? I can help with that too.

Please reach out to me and we can talk about how I will solve your problem.

Maisa is one of the smartest people I know, she has great curiosity, and a desire to get to the bottom of something. She is so likeable and nice, that people naturally open up to her, which is an excellent skill to have for user interviews for example. She is a hardworking dedicated person and I am pleased to have been able to work with her. I also hope to again in the future.
