What's up?! I'm Gus. I currently work at Google as a Technical Program / Product Manager.

Prior to joining Google, I worked in different industries (e-commerce, software factory, food & beverage, investment banking, mobile telecom). Fun fact, I started my career as a backend engineer but soon I realized I like people more than I like coding. This has taken me to different experiences, ranging from project management, program management, product management (LOVE IT), and last but not least, entrepreneurship (one of my biggest passions).

Apart from the areas of practice I've just listed out, I really like leadership, culture, career development, economics, sports (basketball!).

If you call me a nerd, I get it. I'd rather call me a learner though, as I'm always studying and/or reading something new.

Product Management (PASSIONATE about it :)
