I was lucky enough to have Josu as one of my key Product Leads at Mobimeo where he built up and led the Companion team to develop the first version of our live navigation feature. Josu grew into his role quickly and with with ease as he is a natural leader who is able to build a compelling product vision and inspire others to follow his "North Star". He did an exceptional job of building up the value proposition from scratch and then systematically and in a data driven way iterate on the product to a point where we saw a high user adoption and positive feedback. Josu also had a big influence beyond his immediate team and established a lot of the product best practices Mobimeo uses today, he is a great advocate of agile methods and helped mentor other Product Leads across the business. On top of all that he is an authentic and genuine person who stood up fo his beliefs and always did his best to support others to do their best, his team was highly motivated and driven under his leadership. I miss working with Josu, the fantastic talks and presentations he gave and the support and professional advice he gave me as a CPO - I learnt a lot from him. If you are looking for a charismatic Product-centric leader who can deliver (always on time) will be hard pushed to find a better person!

I am extremely glad to have the chance to work with Josu together at Mobimeo. He was an important sparring partner. We collaborated closely to introduce user insights into the his team’s product development process. Josu is creative, curious, devoted and very passionate about his work. On top of that, he is an inspiring leader. He cares about every member in his team, and has successfully created a great atmosphere and a strong sense of belongingness within the team. He sees the strength in every teammate and empowers them to grow and thrive. While he always delivers great work, he is critical about himself and constantly strives to excel. On top of that, Josu is a wonderful human being who is super fun to work with. He has a great sense of humour, and brings lots of laughter to Mobimeo. He has not only been a fantastic colleague but also a good friend. I really enjoyed working with Josu, and would highly recommend him to anyone.
