About
I am a product manager with deep experience building payments, checkout and fintech products across Latin America, driving measurable increases in conversion and transaction volume. I combine roadmap leadership, cross-functional collaboration and data-driven decision making to deliver high-impact product outcomes.
At Mercado Livre I led the native checkout product, launching new payment methods and using generative AI to speed analysis and reporting; my initiatives delivered substantial TPV and transaction growth. Previously I led payments and card products at Elo7, banQi and Captalys, owning end-to-end strategy, PSP partnerships, and operational improvements.
I value discovery, clear KPIs and stakeholder alignment, and I seek roles where I can scale payments and checkout experiences, mentor teams and continuously improve product velocity and user trust.
