About Francia R. Garduno
I\'m a product manager with an unusual background: I\'ve shipped 200+ products at Ralph Lauren, co-founded a fashion-tech startup from zero, and designed interfaces for an AI geospatial intelligence platform all while living and working across New York, Milan, and Florence.My edge as a PM is that I genuinely understand both sides of the table. I\'ve done the design work, run the user interviews, written the briefs, managed the cross-functional chaos, and shipped product under real deadlines. I don\'t need things translated for me whether that\'s a design critique, a technical constraint, or a stakeholder negotiation.I\'m fluent in English and Spanish, conversational in Italian which means I think about users and products through more than one cultural lens. That matters when you\'re building for diverse or global audiences.I\'m drawn to products at the intersection of culture, technology, and human experience fashion tech, AI platforms, consumer apps, and tools that serve people who\'ve historically been underserved by default-English, default-Western tech.Open to: PM, APM, Product Ops, and UX Product roles at startups and growth-stage tech companies.
