💻 About me 💻
I'm a Senior Product Manager by day and content creator whenever I have a few minutes in the morning, day or night to spare! I have experience working in Product Management at Microsoft in AI & Machine Learning, as well as Cisco in Wireless Technologies. I'm originally from Mexico City and I moved to the U.S. in 2015 to study my MBA at Duke University. I discovered Product Management when I started Business School and since then, it has been my mission and my passion to help others break into this role!

Interesting insights. I wholeheartedly agree about the LinkedIn connection request message. People reach out but I have no idea who they are or how they find me. Are they just trying to build up their numbers or do they genuinely want to get to know me?
