  • Self Employed
    B2B Saas Product Management And Product Marketing Expert
    Self Employed Jan 2022 - Present
    Italy
    In 2022, I took a deliberate pause from corporate roles to prevent burnout and address family matters, prioritizing work-life balance and mental well-being. This break became an opportunity to reflect on my career journey and explore interests that enrich both my personal and professional life: mentoring rising product leaders, pursuing visual arts projects, indulging my passion for culinary-driven entertainment, and deepening my knowledge of the B2B SaaS product business.I maintained professional engagement through selective consulting work, starting as a Fractional CMO at Qapla' (eCommerce) and advising U.S.-based companies in the restaurant and seafood sectors. This dual approach has kept me actively involved with evolving product management and marketing practices, particularly exploring how Generative AI (GenAI) can enhance these disciplines.This period has both broadened and deepened my T-shaped PM/PMM skill set, ensuring my capabilities remain relevant and impactful for my next corporate role.
