About Alexandre

AI Product Manager & Builder

As a Business Analyst by training, I evolved into the role of Product Management while developing my builder skills by creating my own products from A to Z. This journey has given me something rare: I drive the vision and I deliver.

I support SMEs, mid-sized companies, and IT departments that want to structure and realize their product and AI initiatives, from scoping to scaling.

Areas of Expertise

Product Strategy & Vision:
  • Product vision, OKRs, market positioning
  • Roadmap, backlog, prioritization, value/effort trade-offs
  • Alignment between product, business, and management teams
Management & Delivery
  • KPI monitoring, product rituals (reviews, retrospectives, planning)
  • Management communication and product reporting
  • Stakeholder coordination (IT, field teams, service providers)
AI & Automation
  • Scoping and identification of high-ROI use cases
  • Integration of AI agents / LLMs, agentic workflows
  • AI Governance: usage, risks, adoption, practice transformation
Build & Launch
  • Rapid prototyping and MVP (I code)
  • User onboarding, acquisition, change management support

My Proudest Achievements

  • Leadership & building strong product teams
  • Building and managing high-performing product teams (PO, UX/UI, dev, test)
  • Managing a project portfolio worth over €2 million
