New Year's Day, Joshua Tree National Park, California. 2014.

Hi, I'm Mariana.

With a background in Linguistics and Semantics and an entrepreneurial spirit, my 15-year journey in Silicon Valley has been driven by a desire to make technology more intuitive, data-driven, and human-centered. As a Product and Technology leader, I’ve led transformative mobile solutions, including launching native shopping apps that redefined engagement and revenue impact. By integrating cutting-edge AR technology, my team and I made shopping experiences more immersive and accessible to consumers.

I’ve also dedicated myself to shaping the next generation of enterprise product professionals, developing on-demand learning tools, industry-vetted templates, and virtual coaching programs.

Collaboration has always been the cornerstone of my career—I thrive at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Strategy, fostering a culture of innovation and inquiry among teams across Sales, Marketing, and beyond. To me, success isn’t just about building great products—it’s about crafting experiences that truly make a difference in people’s lives. And that’s what brings me the greatest joy in my work.

When I’m not building technology teams and digital products, you can find me in my garden with my girls, tinkering with recipes books in the kitchen, or exploring new places. I credit my husband Alex for cultivating my love of standing in the middle of nowhere with a good cup of coffee (see image).
