À propos de Maria

Dynamic Product Owner and IT Project Manager with 18+ years of leadership in EU digital transformation, platform governance, programme management and enterprise-level delivery. Trusted by senior management to turn complex operational, policy and stakeholder ecosystems into coherent digital products, I specialise in translating business needs into platform features, driving agile delivery, and ensuring strategic, compliant, and value-driven product evolution.

My experience spans full product lifecycle management, service governance, roadmap ownership, requirements engineering, UAT strategy, release/change management, and cross-DG coordination. I have managed multimillion-euro programmes, large vendor consortia, and cross-border digital solutions, consistently ensuring regulatory alignment, performance monitoring, and user-centric outcomes.

I bring a unique blend of policy intelligence, digital governance expertise, and hands-on product ownership, strengthening OPMOs and IT departments through structured decision-making, risk mitigation, and enterprise-class documentation. Skilled in stakeholder alignment across the European Commission, Member States, IFIs, and international partners, I excel in environments where clarity, structure, and strategic vision are needed to deliver resilient digital products at scale.
