Mariana Velez

I spent 5.5 incredible years at Glovo, where I played a key role in scaling and optimizing products across diverse markets. As a Product Manager, I focused on creating seamless customer experiences, streamlining operations, and delivering data-driven solutions that drove both growth and efficiency. My journey included leading cross-functional teams, launching impactful features, and aligning product strategy with business goals in a fast-paced, hyper-growth environment. After Glovo, I joined Microsoft as a Principal Program Manager in the Microsoft Amplify division. There, I led strategic initiatives to surface insights across multiple business lines, helping drive product-led growth and adoption of Copilot. I collaborated with eight program managers to align insights with engineering and executive priorities, and to improve internal workflows and decision-making processes at scale. Currently, I’m a Senior Product Manager at Pixelz, focusing on building and launching new products—especially those powered by AI. I work closely with cross-functional teams to define strategy, validate user needs, and bring innovative features to market that enhance our platform’s value and customer experience.
