Bio
Will Stevens
I had the pleasure of working with Alejandro at globaledit where he was the Director of Product Management. Alejandro was strategically instrumental in bringing globaledit to new markets and challenging the norms of what was possible. As a coworker, he advocated for me in my career growth and goal of becoming a product manager. We worked closely as I transitioned from a Product Support Manager to a Product Manager. He mentored and assisted me as I needed while giving me the space to discover and learn on my own. Alejandro is a skilled Product Manager who works well cross-departmentally with a respectful caring demeanor, bringing people together to uncover strategic opportunities. He is a great Product Manager which will help motivate, mentor others, and push your company to new levels. Having worked with him directly, I can say he would be an invaluable addition to your team!

Alejandro is a fantastic person to work with. We worked together on a number of projects at Apprentice and I always valued his ‘can-do’ attitude and dedication to make sure work is done in the best way possible. He has great attention to detail and that’s how you get not just good but great results. Technical requirements provided by Alejandro were always thorough, complete and clear. He is a true asset to any team and I can't recommend him enough.
