Ignacio Palomo-Duarte
Product Manager · Computer Science & UX background
I'm Ignacio — a Product Manager who codes. My Computer Science background lets me bridge the gap between what's technically possible and what users actually need, without losing sight of the business goals in between. I thrive in teams that ship often and learn fast: the build-measure-learn cycle isn't a process I follow, it's how I think.
Currently Head of Product Management at Genially, I've built and led product teams at Spotahome and Thoughtworks — and delivered projects for organisations like UNICEF, the United Nations, eDreams and McDonald's. I'm drawn to complex products with real constraints: the kind where strategy, user research and engineering have to align for anything meaningful to ship.
