Senior Product Leader

Luis Espinal

Hello 👋🏽

I’m a Senior Product Manager specializing in data platforms, GenerativeAI and API products. I’ve led initiatives that drove $40MM net-new ARR, improved conversion rates by up to 20% and generated cost savings of up to $5MM, scaling product capabilities to support rapid company growth.

My background spans companies from startups to enterprises with up to $400M+ in ARR, where I’ve consistently delivered outcomes through strategic product development and a focus on solving critical user and business problems.

As a Product Manager

I’m passionate about translating customer insights into product strategies that drive engagement and create lasting business value, even better, I have a bias for action and execution over strategy.

My core skills include customer and user interviews, data analysis, API management, and third-party integrations. I am also fluent in both Spanish and English, which has allowed me to work effectively in diverse and remote teams.

At the same time, I give back to the community mentoring other product managers and volunteering as part of ProductBC.

As a public speaker

As a public speaker, I share insights on scaling multi-product ecosystems, leveraging AI to enhance user experiences, and fostering cross-functional alignment. I aim to inspire and equip audiences at product management conferences, tech meetups, and leadership summits with actionable strategies and real-world examples drawn from my experience in B2B SaaS, fintech, and e-learning.

Luis is immeasurably intelligent and strategic - two mandatory traits for a successful Product Manager. He established processes and systems that allow our team to properly report product issues. We are more orderly, more efficient.

Toolkit

Product Strategy

I base prioritization and make sure we are working on the right things based on metrics that define success.

All outcomes are tied to one or more business goals.

Technical Expertise

Not afraid to look for that 200ok on Postman. 

I’ve set a devops pipeline with test cases and created staging environments in the past. I can speak layering with developers any day, in fact, I enjoy it.

Product North Star

Because there’s no better way to rally troops than to give them a common cause to fight for.

I focus heavily on being an advocate for the problem we are solving and where we are heading.

Remote Ready

I’ve worked in and led product teams of all sorts asynchronously and partially remote. 

Basing performance on outcomes and not time spent on the computer.
