# Shuga **Product Leader & Builder** Product leader from Argentina. 10 years building technology products for humans. Now also for agents. --- ## Experience ### Remote **Product Lead, Cards** · Jan 2026 – present - Joined Remote as part of the Atlas acquisition to lead the development of the Cards product - Working with Design, Engineering, and other Product teams - Owning product strategy and execution end-to-end from discovery to launch > Joined Remote through the Atlas acquisition. Cards is now a core product within Remote's ecosystem — owning it end-to-end at global scale. ### Atlas (acq. by Remote) **Head of Product** · Apr 2023 – Feb 2026 - Led the company's transition to a product-driven organization and a new business model centered around the corporate card - Led cross-functional teams across Engineering, Sales, and CX - Hands-on with product design and vibe coding throughout - Atlas was acquired for its Cards product — the entire team joined Remote to integrate it as a core product - Previously Product Designer: built and scaled the benefits & perks marketplace, taking on PM responsibilities alongside design > Nearly 3 years at Atlas — from Product Designer to Head of Product. The card-led pivot led to the acquisition by Remote, with the full team and product carrying over. ### Lemon Cash **Senior Product Designer** · Feb 2022 – Nov 2022 - Designed FIAT/Crypto bridging experiences for the Argentine market - Owned UX for the ARS wallet and payment flows - Contributed to new investment product development > In Argentina, the stakes for financial products are real. Designing a crypto wallet when inflation is running at 70%+ is not an abstract exercise. ### Aivo **Senior Product Designer** · Nov 2020 – Feb 2022 - Led the redesign of the chatbot window, admin dashboard and new AI products - Built the company Design System from scratch - Scaled and structured the Design Team - Explored generative AI for customer responses before it was mainstream > Rebuilding the full product suite while also building the team. The generative AI exploration felt early and uncertain at the time — turns out it was just early. ### Acámica **Product Manager & UX Designer** · Aug 2019 – Nov 2020 - Led Growth initiatives in the engineering team - Coordinated execution across Marketing and Learning departments - Defined product and experience specs for technical careers - Acámica was acquired by Digital House in 2021 > Growth PM at an edtech that got acquired. Learned to work at the intersection of product, engineering and business — and how acquisitions change everything overnight. ### Naranja **Senior Product Designer** · Mar 2018 – Jul 2019 - Product Designer for the Payments unit - Researched Argentine user profiles and their payment contexts - Contributed to an omnichannel digital payments strategy > Naranja is one of Argentina's biggest fintechs. Working on payments there meant understanding a huge range of users — many of whom had never used a digital product before. ### MercadoLibre **User Experience Designer** · Jan 2016 – Aug 2018 - Worked on Mercado Crédito and Mercado Pago - Built solutions for financial inclusion across LatAm - Designed credit access for users outside the banking system > MercadoLibre at scale is a different kind of design challenge. The goal wasn't beautiful interfaces — it was getting credit to people who had never had a bank account. --- ## Ideas & Writing - [Multi Agent PM assistant](https://x.com/shuga_vibes/status/2038741088110887201) - [The year of Leapfrogging](https://x.com/shuga_vibes/status/2036812209506976026) - [Vibechex](https://x.com/shuga_vibes/status/2032087065995755543) - [99% is closest to 0](https://x.com/compose/articles/edit/2023404784297140224) --- ## Notable - [Speaker at AI Day at Aleph](https://x.com/shuga_vibes/status/2034720873278492890) - [Built an AI assistant template for Product Managers that runs on autopilot — open-sourced for anyone to install and customize](https://x.com/shuga_vibes/status/2038741088110887201) - [At Atlas, we hosted a keynote to introduce our new product, the Atlas Card, and I shared how the Atlas product ecosystem works.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz91We6koEQ) - [Featured in 'The Book Of Design' by The Network & Framer, which highlighted profiles and works of 100 designers from Argentina.](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alvarezquiros_ayer-fue-el-lanzamiento-de-the-book-of-design-activity-7138276509231878146-Ijvu) - [Part of the initial team and first designer of Mercado Crédito at Mercado Libre](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/creditos/comprar-cuotas-sin-tarjeta) - [Part of the Founding team behind GAID at the ShipBA hackathon](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alvarezquiros_gaid-encuentra-tu-experiencia-perfecta-activity-7304954848699990016-rEY4) - [Featured appearance on the Olga streaming channel as Cupid on Valentine's Day](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSeO9Bgu3OQ&t=2398s) - [Featured as a Top Writer in Leadership by Medium](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alvarezquiros_estoy-muy-feliz-de-que-después-de-publicar-activity-6692088301165281280-fc1o/) - [Interviewed by La Voz del Interior as a leading voice in UX Design in Argentina](https://www.lavoz.com.ar/espacio-de-marca/disenar-experiencias-una-habilidad-cada-vez-mas-valorada/) - [Part of the founding team of TEDxUniversidadCatolica in Córdoba](https://www.ted.com/tedx/events/16368) - [10 years as a volunteer at the Argentine Youth Organization for the United Nations](https://oajnu.org) - [Second place at Startup Weekend Córdoba](https://www.cadena3.com/noticia/tecnologia/mas-inclusion-gano-el-startup-weekend-cordoba_154535) --- ## Connect - [LinkedIn](https://linkedin.com/in/alvarezquiros) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/shuga_vibes) - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/shuga.vibes) - [GitHub](https://github.com/shugavibes)
