About Daniele

I’m a qualified Product Manager and Leader with more than 15 years of experience in
the tech field and travel industry. I kicked off my career working as a developer for
almost 10 years, gaining a solid technical fluency and a clear understanding of the
product development life cycle.

Beyond my technological background, I have developed significant expertise in the
travel industry, collaborating with international suppliers and clients and leading a
team of over 40 people.
I’m able to bring a blend of technical expertise, user-focused design, and strategic
product management. I enjoy collaborating with teams to achieve shared goals with
curiosity and adaptability.

I’m now looking for new ventures and challenges, exploring opportunities as a Product
Leader or as an individual contributor, helping you build your next idea. I’m at ease
with start-ups and dynamic environments that juggle with innovation and technology.
