About Manon

Senior Product Manager


I support you in defining and implementing your product strategy. My goal is to help you identify the needs and problems of your users in order to design solutions that perfectly meet their expectations.

🌟 I am passionate about the product discovery phase. This step is essential to precisely define user needs, identify key issues, and formulate solid hypotheses. My interest in UX/UI drives me to collaborate closely with product designers, while integrating developers from the early stages of design to ensure a technically feasible and optimized solution.

🔎 DISCOVERY

- **User research**: Interviews, user tests
- Competition and market analysis
- **Identification and prioritization of problems**: Focus on what really matters to your users
- **Prototyping**: Wireframes and low fidelity mockups to quickly test concepts
- **Data analysis**: Using tools such as Amplitude and Metabase to inform decision-making
- **User flows**: Designing user journeys for a smooth experience
- **Workshop facilitation**: User story mapping sessions, brainstorming...

🚚 DELIVERY

- **Product roadmap**: Strategic planning to align teams on priorities
- Writing User Stories
- **Facilitation of "Tres Amigos" workshops**: Collaboration between PM/PO, developers, and testers
- Backlog management
- QA
- **Feedback tracking**: Continuous iteration to improve the product


Certified PSPO 1 and PSM 1, I also intervene to help teams adopt best agile practices.

I am at your disposal for any questions or to discuss how I can contribute to the success of your projects 😁.

    Kolecto is a Saas pre-accounting platform for VSEs/SMEs which centralizes bank accounts via open-banking, allows importing and processing of purchase documents at all stages of their life cycle, allows creating invoices and quotes and ensuring cash flow monitoring.

    I work at Kolecto as a Product Manager, first on the entire web app in general, then after reorganization into an impact team, I became PM of the Retention squad.

Manon is rigorous, precise, organized and meticulous. What is pleasant in working with Manon is to know that when we entrust her with a mission, it will be done well and on time. In addition, thanks to her organization and soft skills, Manon is a very good communicator: she has implemented agile processes that have considerably facilitated teamwork, even remotely (we worked 1 month in the office and 1 month in full remote. The fact of being in remote has hardly changed anything). Finally, she has a strong sense of detail and aesthetics particularly appreciable.
