ABOUT ME

Hi, it’s ZSANETT here /ʒa.nɛt/ (alternatively Jeanette, JJ or Zsa-Zsa – all works)

I solve problems, bring everyone closer to the product and the teams to each other.
Technically saying though, I’m a Product Owner (SaaS) with a UX background and mindset. The point of contact for the entire organization for everything that is about the product and a true ally of the product & engineering team. 💫

Let’s have a coffee

Personal
I love all “simple” things, irony and laughing about it. By simple things I mean:  “and I also have nature and art and poetry, and if that isn’t enough, what is?” – Vincent Van Gogh to Theo, London, January 1874.
When I need a break, I do yoga, swim, write, explore new places or I’m in a loop of re-binge-watching The Office, RuPaul’s Drag Race or Twin Peaks.
It’s worthwhile to mention that I (almost) won the music-quiz at the last Friday bar.
