Diego Braido

I am an AI product and portfolio leader with 12+ years of experience managing complex technology and AI solutions from technical development through governance, deployment, adoption, commercialization, and revenue growth. My strength is connecting executives’ priorities and customer needs with challenges, turning them into product strategy, prioritized actions, clear requirements, and repeatable delivery models that generate measurable results. I began in hands-on implementation and commissioning and progressed to team management, AI product ownership, portfolio leadership, and broader commercial and operating-model responsibility. This experience gives me a practical view of how hardware, software, data, and people must work together to create value. I am known for aligning teams around a shared vision, prioritizing decisions based on evidence and business judgment, and making products usable, supportable, and commercially viable. I hold an Executive MBA and PMP certification and am fluent in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian. I am now pursuing opportunities as a Director of Product, Head of Product, Principal Product Manager or Staff Product Manager.

   I lead cross functional product, commercial and business systems initiatives that connect sales, finance, engineering and manufacturing. The role sits at the intersection of product strategy, commercial execution and operating systems, making complex equipment easier to plan, price, launch, deliver and scale. Scope: Product strategy and launch coordination for innovative equipment, commercial offer development, ERP analytics, financial and operational reporting, resource and capacity planning, installed base growth and digital enablement. Impact highlights: Turn product strategy into commercial and operational execution by translating customer demand and manufacturing constraints into launch priorities, market offers and installed base opportunities. Build the decision infrastructure needed for growth by connecting more than 20 ERP datasets into dashboards that give leadership a consolidated view of sales, financial performance, cash flow and operations. Strengthen revenue execution across a US$160M product sales pipeline, supporting US$30M in recognized revenue, while reducing proposal turnaround by five days. Extend the company’s digital capabilities through a corporate website built with generative AI and a SharePoint knowledge search agent. The decisions this work wins: Where to focus product and sales effort. How to price, scope and position complex equipment. Which opportunities can be delivered within manufacturing capacity. Where leadership needs better financial and operational visibility to support growth and execution. Why it matters: Connects product intent with commercial and operating reality, helping turn complex equipment into repeatable, commercially viable and scalable business.
