Back to original languageAbout Donatien
Freelance Product Manager with a solid technical background and strong emotional intelligence.
I'm not just a product person who delivers specs – I help your teams navigate complexity while bringing structure and humanity.
My approach: ask the right questions, organize chaos, and maintain the balance between performance and team well-being.
What I bring concretely:
- Management of complex projects (fintech, SaaS) with multidisciplinary teams
- Management of multiple stakeholders
- Complete product framing: discovery, roadmap, delivery, metrics
- Mastery of AI in production: I use custom agents and automation daily to optimize velocity
- Training in coaching and applied neuroscience: I know how to manage human dynamics and de-escalate tensions before they become blocking
My background:full-stack developer for 3 years (Ruby/React), then evolved into product management. This dual role allows me to understand technical implications while keeping the product focus.
I also host the podcast "Developer Experience" where I chat with tech leaders – this keeps me up-to-date on market practices.
