How to reset a product team without losing momentum

Renata Gagetti is a product leader with over a decade of experience building and scaling products that make a real difference in people’s lives. Throughout her career, she had the privilege of working with incredible teams at companies like Uber, iFood, Rappi and OLX — leading strategic initiatives that drove growth, improved user experiences, and strengthened product operations. She has always believed product isn’t just about shipping features; it’s about solving real problems with clarity, empathy, and purpose.

Her journey has taken her across Latin America, the U.S., Europe, and Africa, where she has had the chance to lead and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in diverse cultural and market contexts. These global experiences have shaped the way she sees product leadership: as a bridge between strategy and execution, vision and impact. Today, she is passionate about creating spaces where teams can thrive, fostering human-centered product cultures, and inspiring the next generation of product leaders to build with both heart and ambition.
