Design Senior Leader and Strategic Innovation Expert.
A forward-thinking UX strategist who envisions human-centered journeys to drive performance metrics.

I'm Manuela Olivero,

Director of Product Design at Prezi since May 2022.

As a visionary and forward-thinking leader with a data-driven strategic mindset, I bring over 20 years of experience driving successful design initiatives across the B2B, B2C, and B2E sectors. I am passionate about new technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI).

I have led dynamic, happy teams that thrive on collaboration, creativity, and a shared passion for delivering innovative, customer-centric solutions that consistently exceed business goals and client expectations. 

I hold a Design Degree and a Master’s in Technology and Multimedia Communication, both awarded with distinction, grounding my expertise in a solid academic foundation. My design philosophy is deeply rooted in systems thinking, creative problem-solving, and a data-driven approach, ensuring my work is innovative and aligned with real-world needs. 

My strength lies in translating complex strategic concepts into clear, actionable insights, fostering collaboration across design teams and stakeholders, and driving solutions that have a tangible impact on user experience and business growth

I am known for building solid and positive relationships with people and creating an environment where teams feel motivated, valued, and empowered to do their best work. 

Beyond UX expertise, I excel at fostering partnerships with technical experts and cross-functional teams, ensuring that the products we develop are scalable, viable, and customer-centric

My ability to lead with empathy, translate strategic vision into action, and deliver measurable results makes me the right person to lead innovative design initiatives and drive sustainable business success.
