Hi, I’m Manuel

Home Working Writing Building Portfolio Awards

I’m a product leader with a background in design. I’ve founded two startups and spent my career building teams, shaping product strategy, and bringing products to market across complex organizations.

I care deeply about how people work together. Emotional intelligence has long guided how I lead, make decisions, and navigate ambiguity.

Originally from Argentina, I now live in the Pacific Northwest. I love being a dad, exploring the outdoors, and fixing old motorcycles 🏍️ 🛵
