Back to original languageAbout Romain
Romain Kieffer, Senior Product Manager specializing in digital platforms and complex environments (SaaS, B2B).
I support companies in structuring, evolving, and migrating their products, with strong expertise in:
• Platform product management (multi-user, rights, catalogs)
• System migrations (legacy to new architectures)
• Identity & Access Management (IAM, permissions management) topics
• Data-driven decision making
Specifically, I work on:
• Defining product strategy and roadmap
• Prioritizing challenges (RICE, business impact)
• Managing product & tech teams (Agile / Scrum)
• Managing dependencies between complex systems
• Writing specifications and structuring the backlog
Recently, I've also been integrating a strong AI dimension into my product approaches:
• Identifying AI-powered vs. AI-native opportunities
• Experimenting with models (LLM, content generation)
• Designing AI-based features driven by user value
• Structuring product logic around user input (prompt, data)
I am accustomed to working in demanding environments with multiple stakeholders (tech, design, business, support).
Goal: Deliver useful, scalable products aligned with business objectives

Romain is a serious, calm, committed, and resilient collaborator who brilliantly led his long-term mission at Believe.
He navigates equally well with business stakeholders, to properly document issues and solutions implemented, as well as with the technical teams within and beyond his squad; to lead, break down, and monitor their work, even on complex technical subjects (migrations, security, etc.).
After a week of onboarding, he was already on the job, independent, knowing when to ask for help, and proactively providing regular visibility on his work, challenges, and risks.
Thanks again Romain!
