About Yurena

The best products are born from teams that understand the why and for whom they are created.

My mission is to drive product creation that solves real user needs and generates business impact. But without people, there is no product. That's why I deeply believe in supporting them, helping them grow, transform their mindset, and generate value continuously.

My approach combines technical expertise with what some call my superpower: connecting with people. I identify which skills to enhance and which areas to strengthen, aligning clear objectives for growth.

I have led Product Discovery, guiding Product Designers, Product Managers, and Researchers towards an outcome-oriented approach. I foster a culture of continuous learning and experimentation, helping teams make informed decisions and achieve strategic goals with real impact.

I am passionate about psychology and personal growth because I firmly believe that professional development and human growth go hand in hand.

My goal is simple yet transformative: to train and support more professionals dedicated to creating impact, not just completing tasks.

    Product Discovery Lead & Product Mentor
    October 2023 - March 2025 (1 year and 5 months)
    Barcelona, España
    I support Product Managers, Product Designers, and Researchers in developing their skills, driving the implementation of Product Discovery, and fostering an outcome-oriented approach.

    🚀 What do I do?
    ✔️ Product Mentorships → I mentor PMs, PDs, and Researchers to unlock challenges and develop both hard and soft skills to ensure upskilling.
    ✔️ Product Discovery Implementation → I facilitate the adoption of continuous discovery, hypothesis validation, and informed decision-making based on insights and data.
    ✔️ Mindset Transformation → I drive the shift towards an outcome-oriented culture, ensuring teams generate real impact for business and users.
    ✔️ Training and Workshops → I design and deliver key training sessions for the evolution of product roles.
    ✔️ Team Skill Assessment and Development → As the right hand of the Digital Spain Product Leader, I conduct individual assessments and co-create personalized growth plans for each product team professional.
    ✔️ Discovery and Continuous Feedback Support → I work hand-in-hand with teams, reviewing their work, unblocking obstacles, and strengthening their focus on discovery and a value and impact-oriented mindset.

    🎯 What defines me in this role:
    ✔️ Mentorship tailored to each professional, helping them understand not only the methodologies but also the why and when to apply them.
    ✔️ Making the complex simple, connecting business, product, and users.
    ✔️ Facilitating reflection and unlocking barriers, helping teams make decisions with greater confidence and autonomy.
    ✔️ Combining technical expertise with a human approach, creating a safe space for learning and growth.

    💡 More than teaching discovery, I help change the way teams think, collaborate, and work on products.

A 10 out of 10. Not only in the quality of their deliverables, which is excellent and efficient, but also in the degree of involvement, the proactive contribution of value beyond their responsibilities, and in relational and communicative aspects. They are one of those rare unicorn profiles that can perform equally well in the strategic, tactical, and operational aspects, adding the bonus of being motivated by sharing their knowledge and having the skill to do so outstandingly.
