About Melissa

Product Owner with 10 years of professional experience, I bring a dual expertise that is rare in the market: a user-centric product vision and operational rigor in project management.

My first 6 years as a Project Manager allowed me to develop perfect mastery of budget control, risk management, and complex stakeholder coordination. For the past 4 years, I have been applying this efficiency to Product Ownership (Discovery, backlog, agile delivery).

My goal: To ensure a high-value-added product, delivered in compliance with business objectives.
