Background

About Raluca Dan

I’m a technically grounded product delivery leader with 15+ years in the software industry — evolving from a.NET developer and team lead into a Scrum Master, and more recently, a Technical Product Manager. I specialize in managing complex backend platform enhancements and customer-centric product delivery in highly regulated industries like finance, payments, and banking. My unique edge lies in blending technical fluency with product thinking: I understand architectural constraints, engineering trade-offs, and business objectives, and I bring all stakeholders into alignment around clear, deliverable value. I’ve worked closely with distributed engineering teams, product owners, enterprise architects, and external partners to deliver robust digital solutions, reduce delivery risk, and meet tight go-to-market timelines. In my recent roles, I’ve overseen multi-team efforts to modernise payment platforms, launch virtual card services, and shift from monolithic architectures to microservices — balancing short-term delivery milestones with long-term strategic goals. My strengths include: • Translating business needs into technical roadmaps and product backlogs • Leading cross-functional teams and coordinating complex delivery streams • Managing dependencies, risks, and stakeholder alignment in SAFe and Lean-Agile environments • Driving product improvements that enhance user experience and operational efficiency • Leveraging data and team insights to inform prioritization and decision-making I’m passionate about delivering impactful products that serve real-world needs — and I thrive in roles where I can lead with context, coach teams, and collaborate across domains to get meaningful work done.
