Lean Product Development
When developing a product, the tools and processes you choose to use can certainly have an impact on the quality and speed to market. However
the best tools and processes alone do not guarantee success.
Product ownership is the key success differentiator!
In this session we will examine the role and key responsibilities of a Product Owner and discuss the importance of leadership, ownership and
championing that leads to product development success.

I discovered my love of technology at a young age in Brazil and brought that love with me when I moved to the U.S. to attend college. My appreciation of operational excellence was realized at Nationwide
Insurance, which is where I led my first team through an Agile transformation to restructure it into an adaptable and self-organized team of experts that valued individuals, interactions, quality results,
and customer collaboration. Through this transformation I discovered a new love; helping people.
My passion is rooted in understanding, coaching, and mentoring people to help them reach their full potential.
By helping people reach their full potential I can assist organizations in producing exceptional results.
Since leaving Nationwide Insurance I have worked as a consultant delivering simple, reusable, and cost effective solutions.
I have worked with clients in the banking and manufacturing industries, and have recently completed a significant ERP rollout
program in South America. I am now leading a BI initiative at a client, and working on my own Start Up, where I am developing a new product (software) to help
people reach their full potential.

Lean Product Development is a transparent, collaborative, iterative and incremental approach used
by cross-functioning and self-organized teams for developing a product, that focuses on generating
