Katerina P.
Lead Product Manager @ Thoughtworks
About
With 14+ years in the IT industry, I’ve worn many hats—problem solver, strategist, and team champion. Starting my career as a software developer, I bring a deep technical understanding to product management, allowing me to collaborate seamlessly with engineers and architects, dive into technical discussions, and help bridge the gap between business needs and technical feasibility. Over the past 5y as a Product Manager, I’ve guided teams to build and launch impactful products across investment, banking, advertising, and retail industries. I thrive in Agile environments (8+ years and counting), leveraging Scrum and Kanban to drive collaboration, prioritize effectively, and keep teams focused on delivering value. I’m hands-on with roadmaps, stakeholder management, and data-driven decision-making, using tools like Jira, Aha!, and analytics platforms to ensure alignment and execution. Whether it’s defining a product vision, leading cross-functional teams, solving complex challenges, or diving into technical problem-solving, I bring a mix of strategic thinking, adaptability, and execution focus to the table. I’ve developed a strong passion for AI and its potential to transform Product Management—streamlining decision-making, improving user experiences, and unlocking new efficiencies in product development. Excited about the future of AI-driven products and how they can redefine the way we build and scale impactful solutions.
