Testimonials
Tanya Troshyn - PM Director @PayPal
Diego is a very talented product manager who is responsible for some of Venmo and Xoom product functionalities. He has been consistently winning awards for his excellence and is recognized as a top performer in the company. Diego has a strategic mindset and approaches problems such that they are addressed in the short-term and have long-term scalable and optimized approaches. One example for me was how he approached data analysis for the products in the portfolio. He not only optimized the short-term solution but also created a scalable approach to addressing this in the future. Diego demonstrated excellent leadership skills by leading the experimentation of the decision-making framework for a large organization at PayPal and by mentoring and coaching product managers within my team and outside the company.
David Miller - Eng Manager @Braintree
Diego was my Product partner in delivering a solution to bring Venmo disputes functionality into PayPal Braintree. Diego was a critical member working across engineering, project management, sales, support, and more. He even facilitated conversations with our clients to ensure their needs were met and questions were answered in a timely manner. Part of what makes Diego special is his high level of empathy for everyone he works with. This allows him to understand where all of his stakeholders are coming from, allowing him to focus conversations around each individual need. I enjoyed working with Diego and think you will, too! I can’t wait to see what he does next and would love the opportunity to work with him again!
Jakub Semczuk- Sr. Engenieer @Braintree
I worked with Diego at Braintree/PayPal on integrating a payment dispute flow from another provider into Braintree's platform. The project turned out to be a big win, helping us recover significant revenue. Diego was a great Product Manager who knew how to get different teams working together smoothly. He was skilled at breaking down complex problems and kept everyone focused on what mattered most. His clear communication style really helped our team succeed. What made Diego stand out was how well he understood both the technical side and business needs, which helped us build solid solutions without wasting time. He was always thinking ahead and putting in the work to get things right. I'd definitely recommend Diego to any company looking for a strong PM who works well with others and gets results.
