Ezequiel Frescó
Hi
I am Ezequiel, a product manager
My background
Since the beginning of my career, I have been involved with technology. Technology always felt like home, even during my studies in a different field. I started as a programmer and, almost as a natural step forward, landed in leading a team and, later on, business analyst and product owner roles. Product seems the perfect combination between different approaches but with people always at the centre of it. Customer-centric and data-centric are my key points to launching successful projects, without forgetting about having outstanding teams engaged and involved in the development process.

"Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning."
