About Camila

I help fintech and financial sector companies launch and grow their digital products without losing control of the roadmap or execution quality.

I guide your team in translating business objectives into a prioritized backlog, speaking with developers, business stakeholders, and external vendors in the same language, to deliver complex projects without anything getting lost along the way.

I come from the financial markets world: over 4 years leading stock index products at the Colombian Stock Exchange, including the launch of a regional index that integrated three countries (MSCI Nuam). There, I learned to manage backlogs under Scrum and Kanban, coordinate sprints, and negotiate directly with international partners like MSCI and BME.

What sets me apart: I understand both technical and financial language, so I can be the bridge between your technology team and your business team without lost translations.

Types of tasks I usually manage:

- Definition and prioritization of backlog for digital or financial products
- Requirements documentation and coordination with development teams
- Management of relationships with external vendors and partners
- Executive reports and presentation of results to stakeholders
- Support in digital transformation processes
