About

Hello, I'm Alberto, Design Manager with 13+ years of experience crafting, iterating, and scaling B2B products from startups to corporates. In my journey, I've led teams and directed product design in procurement, logistics, automotive, enterprise SaaS, and fintech spaces. I love what I do - forming and empowering teams to work together and build incredible products that contribute to business impact. I am dedicated to fostering professional growth, supporting individuals in enhancing their skills, and empowering them to become impactful in their work through strategic performance management. I am active in building design communities in companies to create a sense of belonging and collective growth. I align design efforts with overarching business goals to achieve impactful results and obtain business outcomes. By working closely with cross-functional peers, shaping priorities and strategy collaboratively and forming strong partnerships I make design role relevant in product leadership.
