Pablo Estrada

Summary
My multi-disciplined strengths span across marketing and product management, helping the organization maximize pipeline and brand preference, while my leadership impact extends beyond those directly in my department. I’m just as comfortable as part of a scrappy 4-person department as I am leading a 50-person global organization.
