About Valeria

I am Valeria, I am from Madrid, but I have lived in many cities, Paris for 1 year and a half, where I have perfected my french, Barcelona, for five years and Zurich. Where I have been living for [ ].
I have studied economics and I did a masters degree on Digital Marketing.
After that,I stated working for a startup where I had my first pm experience.
I learnt the main product management skills. We were a small multitasking team and we built a B2C lending platform from scratch.
Then, because I wanted to expose myself to the challenges of a bigger company, I joined Caixabank, the biggest bank in Spain. I worked for a new digital division, focused on younger audiences.
I managed the lending products, such as personal loans or credit cards.
After 5 years, I decided it was time to try something new and discover new industries.
Taking advantage of my background, I joined idealista, the main real state internet site in Spain as Product Manager for the seeker user journeys.
Some time after that I was contacted by Lookiero and they offered me a key position to lead the new ecommerce product.
