- Leading a group of 15 Product Managers (within Global Technology team) responsible for around 40 Data, Analytics & AI/ML powered Products linked to Nike's products distribution (both digital and wholesale) in the EMEA region. - Delivering value through the work of about 15 engineering squads focused on Data, Analytics & AI/ML products for optimizing Marketplace & Supply Chain (Logistics, Warehouse & Distribution, Customs, Marketplace Fulfillment). - Driving Product Thinking & influencing Digital & Agile Transformation related ways of working for a technology department +400 people strong.

Leading software development in a new initiative for the future of automated scaled map-making. - Define system roadmap, implement strategy, risk management for multiple engineering teams, leading product development for internal systems part of new end-to-end map-making. - Owning both horizontal components for value-add processing in given feature stream, as well as vertical components (enablers) that support multiple feature streams.

Leading software development enabling automation of map-making from Source-to-Map processing. - Co-led initiatives to automate Source-to-Map processing, leveraging the capabilities built in our internal system. E.g., +10M features processed in about 6 months for one given process; +65M features processed in the weekly intake of a global supplier dataset. - Co-developed a refreshed strategy to better leverage and integrate our regional sourcing expertise into the intake of map source data to deliver through our internal system, accelerating capability building by up-skilling tenths of existing professionals into professional software development. - Drove experimenting with Data Science approaches for source data consumption decision making via our APIs.

Leading software development enabling automation of map-making from Source-to-Map processing. - Establishment of an entire new engineering-oriented unit within Sourcing Operations, with a distributed team (6 different countries, 8 different nationalities) setup. - Grew the team to a cross-functional team of 30 people. - Drove from concept to delivery an entire new internal system to handle map source delivery at scale in highly automated fashion. MVP launched in about 6 months, and since then incrementally improving and adding functionalities. - Enabled map production processing with eased access to map source data at scale through a set of APIs in a concept of "data-as-a-service".

- Hired a few outstanding technical and process profiles for the region. - Technically led the transformation of our operation in Chile to be more consistent and on pair with what we had in Brazil. - Designed and implemented framework for better to drive tactical level innovation ideas to put in practice, as well as to manage risks and map quality issues. - Initiated the streamline of the POI (Points of Interest) regional processes to better align with global ways of working.

- Enabled the region to maintain an innovation and adoption spirit, always with an eye on making things better by doing differently. - Ensured that Content Operations organization applies the most recent state-of-the-art production environment and processes to enable best possible results on efficiency and quality. - Led the region to early adopt and eventual efficiently deploy the new transactional map-making platform in our projects and processes. - Accumulated the role of Technical Customer Support for TomTom Maps products in Latin America, in which I led key local customers to transition to our map database. - Started formally managing people.

-Acted as the role which is 2 levels up in the other regions, without compromising in expectations or influence.

- Second employee for TomTom Brazil, first focused on technical aspects. - Proposed and deployed several process changes towards more quality assurance. - Deployed and streamed the change of fieldwork process that turned into efficiency improvements of at least a factor between 2-3 faster, with regular quality feedback loop to improve output quality. - Natural leader and go-to person for all the technical roles. - Accumulated the roles of Supplier Manager and Technology Deployment Manager for the region.
