Sergio Rodriguez

I am Sergio Rodriguez, a Head of Product in Fintech and web3, based in Paris, France. I have more than 18 years of experience in e-commerce and Payments. I am a software engineer who discovered product management by accident when looking for a balance between technical feasibility, customer Desire, and business viability. I have been a Product Owner, Product Manager, Sr Product Manager, Lead Product Manager, and now, Head of Product.

I have been mentoring and coaching Product Managers and entrepreneurs at Article 1, The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women, Plato, and now The Mentoring Club.

In my current role, I lead the Consumer Services team at Ledger, which facilitates buying, selling, swapping, or investing in crypto assets through a partner ecosystem.

Previously, I was at ManoMano, where I led the teams building the Payments, Finance, and Compliance Platforms in one of the top scale-ups in France: ManoMano. A home improvement, gardening, and DIY marketplace is available in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and the UK. In 2020, we made more than €1.2 billion in GMV (~$1.4B USD). Recently, I have also started to lead the Product Operations Team to continue growing and scaling our amazing Product Team.

Before joining ManoMano, I worked for PayPal for eight years in different roles on the Product Team. Launching products globally to millions of customers with a distributed team was a fantastic opportunity. Before PayPal, I worked for Citibank for five years in their acquiring and e-commerce business. I led the committee at the Central Bank that implemented 3-D Secure in Mexico.

I will be happy to guide you to the best of my abilities in whatever challenge you're facing as a Product Manager. Please do not contact me for commercial purposes or on behalf of your company. My mentoring team is a volunteer effort dedicated to individuals; therefore, you should be the direct beneficiary of our mentoring session.
