About Dora

I’m a Senior Product Manager at Visa, where I lead the 0→1 development of AI-powered analytics platforms that help merchants optimize payment performance. I specialize in turning complex data into clear, actionable products—whether that’s through natural language interfaces, real-time dashboards, or machine learning–driven recommendations. I began my career in data consulting at PwC, then went on to earn a Master’s in Public Administration from Harvard Kennedy School. Since then, I’ve worked across sectors and organizations at the intersection of tech, data, and business strategy. As a coach, I work with aspiring and early-career product managers to gain clarity, build confidence, and grow into strategic, AI-fluent product leaders

Why do I coach?

I believe product management is evolving—and PMs who blend human-centered thinking with AI fluency will shape the future. I coach because I love helping others step into this new era. Today, I’m focused on AI-powered analytics, building platforms that help businesses make smarter decisions in real time. Are you… … Transitioning into product from data, consulting, or policy? … A new PM looking to lead with more clarity and strategy? … Curious how AI is changing the product manager’s toolkit—and how to keep up? I coach aspiring and early-career product managers to break in, level up, and build products that combine business impact with tech innovation.
