I currently work as Product Owner at a leading automotive manufacturer.

Profile
|
I am a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) who had a development-to-management career progression, starting from a hands-on software developer role with increasing responsibility and then moving my focus to the process first (I am a Certified ScrumMaster - CSM) and eventually to the product. I’m an enthusiastic Agilist, with experience in waterfall and Agile working methodologies gained working for nearly 20 years in many roles, companies and businesses over the entire Software Development Life Cycle (from requirements collection to deployment).
As a product person I strive to bridge the gap between the developers and the customers by acting and thinking as the latter, trying to understand what they want, what they don’t and what the pain points are. As an agilist I believe that quality can be achieved by a creative and autonomous group of people working together with the right process, aimed at delivering often and regularly and getting qualified feedback in order to continuously adjust the product and the process. My ideal job is as coordinator of other Product Owners or as a Senior Product Owner responsible of a large product. |
