I bridge the gap between complex engineering capabilities and global business With over 5 years of experience across Google, Meta, and boutique AI advisory, I operate exactly where Program Management meets Product Operations. My focus is simple: eliminate operational silos, integrate advanced tooling, and accelerate Go-To-Market Instead of just managing tasks, I build the engines that help teams ship faster and scale smarter. A few recent wins:• LotusAI: Productized bespoke AI strategy consulting into a scalable 3-tier commercial framework, expanding our addressable market by 40%. • Meta: Authored PRDs and partnered with ML Engineering to deploy automated detection workflows. This quarantined content spikes, protecting €180K in advertiser spend and reducing negative views by 40% YoY. • Google: Built and launched predictive data analytics dashboards to flag compliance risks in active sales pipelines, securing 85% leadership adoption and salvaging €3M in compliant deal My approach to AI: I view AI as an operational imperative, not a buzzword. I actively build automated workflows using Zapier and Gemini to synthesize complex data into actionable deliverables. Beyond basic prompting, my technical research spans practical implementations of Whisper AI and capabilities analysis of models like the Nano Banana project to determine the best architecture to solve actual business I recently completed my MBA at IESE Business School in Barcelona (Class of 2026).
