I am Marietta - a strategic, but also hands-on Senior Product Manager with a passion for mental health. I am a highly purpose-driven and ambitious person, who loves to work on difficult problems with diverse teams. I bring strong experiences in product management, design, entrepreneurship, and leadership. My background is in Psychology (B.Sc.) and Organizational Psychology (M.Sc.), which helps me to deeply empathize with users as well as my team. I am known for my enthusiasm, which helps me to excite and align people in my team to work towards shared goals and strive for excellence. Most recently, I led the product development of various employee-facing applications of the B2B SaaS Employee Enablement platform Zavvy. I joined Zavvy as the first employee and supported the notable growth of the company in several critical roles: I co-developed the product vision of the entire platform with the visionary founder team (prev. Freeletics); I owned the design and development of the Minimum viable product (MVP), its launch with first pilot companies and their (100%) conversion into our first paying customers; I led the product development of multiple employee-facing applications (e.g., preboarding, onboarding, training) within the Zavvy platform, as well as complex cross-platform infrastructure (e.g., integrations, notifications, user management, Zavvy AI) with an amazing product team of up to eight engineers and two designers. As of today, Zavvy is a scaling seed-stage start-up that has raised € 5 M. Before, I interned as UX Designer at Google where I conceptualized, designed and developed an MVP of a mobile app that decreases revenue loss caused by product-inventory downtime by 17%. Beyond expectations, I conducted an entire user study (survey and interviews) to validate the concept and convinced key stakeholders to prioritize implementation. All in all I have 6+ years of experience in product design and management in a global B2B environment with a strong consumer orientation (i.e., Employees). I am able to lead teams through the uncertainty of product discovery, as well as through a rigorous execution that maximizes user value and strives for excellence.
