About Elisabeth

I help organizations deliver value in complex technological projects, aligning business and technology through agile or traditional methodologies and rigorous management of budget, planning, and teams.

As a Product or Project Leader, I bring an unusual combination: strategic vision, operational control, and closeness to the team. I am accustomed to working with demanding stakeholders, managing inter-area dependencies, and leading multidisciplinary teams, ensuring that each initiative moves forward with a focus on measurable and sustainable results.

I have led projects for large companies such as Mapfre, as well as public sector projects in the Defense sector, managing roadmaps, backlogs, and planning, and ensuring visibility of status, risks, and budget at all times. I ensure that priorities are clear, that the team moves forward aligned, and that the client always has a transparent view of progress and their return on investment.

My differential value lies in combining discipline in economic management (detailed control of costs and profitability) with human team management, fostering communication, responsibility, and continuous improvement. Furthermore, I drive internal initiatives such as Teambuilding or Happiness Manager, reinforcing team cohesion and performance.

I specialize in the management of software development products and projects, integrations, technological migrations, and custom solutions, from requirements gathering to final delivery, including monitoring, reporting, testing, and documentation.

If you are looking for someone who not only manages projects but ensures real value deliveries, with control, transparency, and commitment, I can help you.
