Willian Carminato

My name is Willian, I’m originally from Brazil and I've been living in Germany since 2015. I’m currently working at Miro, the online collaborative whiteboard platform that brings teams together, anytime, anywhere. I'm leading Miro's Core Product Experience and I'm also responsible for our Berlin Hub.

I started my career back in Brazil around 15 years ago as an intern in a digital agency. I have worked in a couple of digital agencies in Brazil and then moved to a German incubator called Rocket Internet. Thanks to Rocket I moved to Germany with a start-up that eventually failed 7 months in. After that I joined Foodora, a food delivery business which was later on acquired by Delivery Hero and I stayed with the company for almost 6 years. Over these 6 years we grew the team from around 30 to over 200 colleagues (which I must say was awesome!) and processed over 3 million orders a day.

Throughout my whole career, I've been surrounded by remarkably talented people who've shaped me professionally and even personally. I wouldn't be where I am today without the guidance and mentorship from some of them, to name a few:

• Marco Corsini who game me my first internship opportunity and is up until today a good friend;
• Gabriel Oliveira who taught me pretty much everything about software engineering;
• Matias Pacelli who pushed me once and for all into a leadership position as well as mentored me;
• Benjamin Mann for the guidance and mentorship on executive thinking.

By joining this mentorship club, I hope I can also give back and share my knowledge and experience with some of you, whether you are at the start of your career or in a leading position.

Looking forward to getting in touch!
