Rui Costa Meira

Senior Product Manager, Martech & Growth · Amsterdam

Senior Product Manager with 12+ years across e-commerce, marketplaces and performance marketing, for PVH, Decathlon, Farfetch, OLX Group, heycar and Henkel.

Started in Marketplace and Classifieds operations, then ran a Classifieds site end to end before moving into Product. That is why I sit comfortably between business KPIs, Martech and engineering delivery.
