Where I'm from
My parents are Argentinian and I was born in the US, then grew up in pieces across South America: Brazil, Peru, and a good stretch in Paraguay. I did Northwestern in three years, economics and history, and stayed for a one-year master's at Kellogg that gave me two things I still run on: a liking for how businesses work, and a set of data analytics classes that turned into most of the analytical work I've done since.
How I got to product
I started in consulting and figured out fast what I was missing. The work was good, but it ended in a deck that got presented and filed. I wanted to build things that people kept using. So I moved to a product team, first in strategy and operations, where I learned how product management actually runs, then into a data analyst role, because the analysis that shaped our roadmap was the part I couldn't put down. From there I became an associate product manager, owning AI and ML forecasting products and the tool that people used to work with those forecasts every day.
Why Kellogg
Because I build things in my free time and wanted a place to get better at it with other people. The MMM program is Kellogg's MBA paired with a master's in design innovation, and I chose it for the human-centered design half: I'm good at deciding what to build from data, and I wanted to get as good at deciding from the people who'll use it.
How I work
Building is the part of any job that gives me the most joy, and AI changed what I can build. I'm not an engineer by training. With AI tools I can take a product from idea to something people use, end to end, and everything on this site was made that way. The side effect is that I've learned more about how systems, code, and shipping actually work in the last two years than in all the years before, because I was the one shipping. That's the skill I'm bringing to a product team: I can talk to engineers as someone who has built the thing, and to users as someone who has watched them use it.
