About Ferdinando

10 years of experience in product management teams, product ops, design and strategy roles in fintech, data and edtech, within SaaS, B2C, B2B, mobile, desktop environments.

In love with multidisciplinary teams, I believe scrum and agile stimulate the right attitude, but culture and talent make the difference in achieving skin in the game and fulfill OKRs.

My objective is to achieve sustainable and concrete value propositions from a business, operational and product perspective in order to disrupt, through innovation, win-win partnerships and empowerment of teams.
