Hello there! I'm Jean, and I have been running product teams for the past 8 years. I have worked extensively in Marketing Technology - I am heading a series of martech squads for Delivery Hero, and did the same at Zalando before that.

I particularly appreciate great puzzles and good products. I build happy and engaged teams by letting people do what they do best and getting out of their way. I have worked in tech and/or marketing for over ten years.
