Vanessa Sambrano

Product Strategist, MBA

I work on messy problems until they become product decisions a team can ship. I’ve launched B2B SaaS for enterprise clients and led discovery on consumer concepts, and I tie each call to a business result.

HOW I WORK

How I move a room from a messy problem to a decision.

01

Ask the right questions

Who is the user, what are they trying to do, and where do they struggle? I go to the evidence before the roadmap.

02

Zero-in on the problem

What users ask for is rarely what they need. Taste Test users asked for better drinks. They needed a way to try without risk.

03

Align people

Stakeholders, engineering, sales, and clients. I make the case with data so decisions stick after the meeting.

04

Make the call

I write down the tradeoff on each decision, including what we won’t build.

TECHNICAL FLUENCY

Fluent in engineering and data.

Better product calls come from better conversations with engineers and better evidence from data.

Data & dashboards

Google Analytics, HubSpot and Salesforce dashboards, plus funnel and engagement analysis that feeds roadmap priorities. Google Data Analytics certificate.

Prototyping

Interactive Figma prototypes for two-sided flows, admin dashboards, and mobile-first UX tested with users.

Building with AI

Using Claude and ChatGPT to build research syntheses, content workflows, and small internal tools.

Working with engineers

Partnered with engineering on the full admin redesign: requirements, user stories, rollout sequencing, and QA.

VENTURES & CONCEPTS

Product concepts and ventures.

New product ideas, from MBA ventures to a self-initiated concept, with the pricing, MVP, and AI decisions that make them real.

STRATEGY

Where to play, how to win.

Competitive analysis, market sizing, and roadmaps that leadership and judges acted on.

GO-TO-MARKET

Taking the product to market.

The website relaunch that put the product-led story in front of buyers.

LEARNER MOBILE · GO-TO-MARKET LAUNCH

One launch that brought the whole company together

I led the website relaunch from 5 pages to 46 in six weeks, pulling GTM messaging, personas, pricing, and product into one system with a lean team.
