Product & UX leader empowering teams to craft impactful products that drive measurable success

Building products isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. It’s a calling that has allowed me to collaborate with incredible teams and tackle meaningful projects throughout my career.

I am currently working at Capmo as Director of UX & Product, where I’m helping redefine how the construction industry works.

Previously, I played a pivotal role at Personio, contributing to its remarkable growth from a promising startup to a $8.5 billion European unicorn.

Head of Product @ Personio

I had the pleasure to work with Renato at Personio. As a senior manager, he was a role model to me who showed great examples of professionalism, leadership, and continuous learning. He was always ready to support with advice and pushed both me and other team members to achieve more in an encouraging and motivating way.

While executing a project together, I was lucky to experience Renato’s leadership skills first hand. He knows how to bring out the best in people by giving them not only the right level of guidance, but also responsibility and space to develop themselves.
When he led the design team, it was remarkable how carefully he picked its members and achieved to create a unique team spirit within.

It has always been a great pleasure to work with Renato because of his friendly & calming personality as well as his open and very positive attitude. These are only selected reasons why he is greatly respected at all levels of the organization. I personally thank him for everything I was able to learn from him - be it great product design ideas, changes of perspective, strategic thinking or social dynamics.

Head of Digital Special Projects @ Red Bull Media House

Renato is an inspiring and powerful product-guy with an international mindset and lots of know how in scaling B2C products to global success. He helped us with Bikemap to re-focus on our strength.

If you run a business that is growing in 100+ Countries, several languages it is sometimes tricky to keep your eyes on the right metrics and features.

He guided us to an exhausting process between product, growth, goals and vision. It was worth every minute. I can highly recommend working with Renato - from a professional perspective as also because of his smart and friendly personality.

Staff Product Designer @ GitHub

Having Renato on your team means not only having a skilled interaction designer on board, but also one that understands how to run a design team against constraints set up by deadlines and management.

During the time we worked together on projects for mobile and web, Renato was a mentor I could go to either for design-related questions or tricky collaboration challenges — where his solution would most likely be some advice on improving communication and better showing the intent of the design.

Senior Software Engineer @ Blacklane

I had the pleasure of working with Renato at Globo.com. He is the kind of person who loves what he does and always gives his best. We work together on the same team, and I learned a lot from him. As a Web Developer, I can say that Renato was one of the best UX professionals I've ever worked with.

Philipp Hagspiel

Managing Director of Venture Building @ Freeletics

Renato is not only an extremely talented designer but also a deep thinker and wonderful person. During his time as Design Lead at Freeletics, he built a new design team from scratch, strongly contributed to the product strategy on many levels, and always got stuff done quickly and with high quality.

He is very good at looking beyond the surface and identifying causes rather than just observing symptoms. He understands people and dynamics between them extremely well.

Renato has a great personality, fully focused on providing value for others. It was a great pleasure working with him and I learned a ton from him both professionally and personally.
