Rebecca Görres

Senior Product Manager, Retention @ Airalo

About

I’m a product leader and VC-backed founder with 10+ years of experience building products from 0→1 and scaling them to 30M users across B2C and B2B SaaS and eCommerce. I’ve built multiple products from 0→1 as a founder and product leader, including founding, building, and selling a VC-backed startup, and have led product organizations through the early scaling phase. As Head of Product, I built teams and operating structures that helped products reach €1M+ ARR within a year of launch and achieve M6 retention of 75% weekly active users (2× typical SaaS benchmarks). Currently I’m Senior Product Manager for Retention at Airalo, a hypergrowth global eSIM marketplace, helping them scale from 10M to 30M users and supporting the rapid expansion after becoming a unicorn just six years after founding. I work on retention and product-led growth, building loyalty systems, referral programs, and behavioral growth loops. Alongside my operating work, I’ve served as a Lead Mentor at Techstars and Entrepreneur First, advising founders on product strategy, go-to-market, and fundraising, and supporting them as they raise their seed rounds. My background in and passion for psychology shapes how I build products. I focus on systems that influence behavior, build habits, and drive meaningful, lasting engagement. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of AI, psychology, and health, and I’m currently building an AI-powered journaling and self-reflection product designed to help people develop deeper self-awareness and shift their mindsets.

Berlin | Remote

Co-founded Remi, a B2B SaaS culture building platform for distributed teams, on a mission to make remote work more human and connected. We didn't have a technical co-founder, so I taught myself Bubble (NoCode tool) and built our MVP myself. Based on this we raised a €1.2m funding round, recruited a team of 12, acquired 80+ customers and sold the company to a competitor. Led product / design / engineering, business strategy, brand, and investor relations. Backed by b2ventures. Remi was acquired by Range in August 2022.
