About Victor

I am a product manager with over six years of experience turning ideas into products that people love to use and businesses are proud to launch. I enjoy working at the crossroads of creativity, data and collaboration, helping teams move from discovery to delivery in a way that keeps users at the heart of every decision.

Over the years, I have had the chance to work with both ambitious start-ups and established organisations, leading products from initial concept through to launch and beyond. My strengths lie in product discovery, user research, roadmap planning, prioritising backlogs, utilising key metrics to guide product evolution to maximise both business & user value and translating big ideas into clear, actionable plans.

I thrive in cross-functional environments, bringing together design, engineering, marketing and stakeholders to keep projects on track and create products that deliver real value. I am particularly passionate about using data and insight to make smarter decisions and to continuously improve product performance.

I have a strong interest in paytech, payments and the wider fintech landscape, supported by hands on experience building compliant payment solutions that meet PCI DSS standards and SCA requirements. I understand how regulations such as PSD2 influence secure payment flows, user experience and payment conversion. I also keep close track of developments in digital payments, payment processing, fraud and risk solutions and financial platforms.

I am also drawn to the adtech and digital advertising space, including advertising technology platforms, programmatic advertising, audience data, targeting and measurement solutions across both DSPs and SSPs. I enjoy exploring how data and insight guide better product decisions and support stronger commercial outcomes in this sector.

At the core, I love building products that solve real problems, improve everyday user experiences and help businesses grow.
