Beschreibung

Ich bin Romain, Senior Product Manager mit über 15 Jahren Erfahrung in der digitalen Wirtschaft, davon 7 Jahre dediziert im Product Management. Als Generalist mit tiefem Verständnis für crossfunktionale Zusammenarbeit bringe ich Business-, Tech- und User-Perspektive zusammen.

Ich habe bei Unternehmen wie eBay, idealo, Misterspex und kfzteile24 gearbeitet und dabei Produkte im E-Commerce und Marketplace-Umfeld von der Discovery bis zum Launch begleitet. Was mich auszeichnet: Ich gehe zu den Nutzern hin, in Stores, in Büros, in Pflegeeinrichtungen, und lerne direkt von denen, die das Produkt täglich benutzen.

Als Freelancer unterstütze ich Unternehmen beim Aufbau neuer Produkte, bei der Strukturierung von Roadmaps und bei der Überbrückung zwischen Business und Engineering.

About me

I'm Romain, a Senior Product Manager with 15+ years in the digital economy, 7 of which focused on product management. Based in Berlin, I work at the intersection of business, tech, and user needs.

I've worked with companies like eBay, idealo, Misterspex and kfzteile24, shipping products across e-commerce and marketplace environments. My approach is hands-on: I go where the users are, whether that's retail stores, care facilities, or partner offices, and build from real insight rather than assumptions.

As a freelancer, I help startups and scale-ups define and build new products, structure roadmaps, and connect business goals with engineering delivery.
