Mihaela is a product leader with 15 years experience in building B2C and B2B global products for education, e-commerce, affiliate marketing and automotive industries.
At Volkswagen Digital Solutions, Portugal, she is responsible for managing several cross-functional teams that build digital products for VW Group Sales and Procurement departments, in a mission to solve user problems and bring business value, while shifting away from a project mindset and towards a user-centric approach.
Mihaela believes that putting people first, both end-users and teams, is the key to creating great products. Her current role lies at the intersection of people, product, and processes. On top of building and managing teams, she works on improving working models and promoting best practices to empower people to build meaningful products, aligning business and team needs, engaging in C-level stakeholder management, and identifying strategic directions for new product development.
Mihaela is also a champion for diversity, inclusive environments and opportunities for women in technology, working with various organisations over the years, bringing positive impact through conferences, events, mentoring and social awareness campaigns.
