Krystyna Waterhouse Berner, Product Manager in Zürich, Switzerland.
8+ years of experience in Data Analytics and Product Management in Online Marketplaces
I hold a master's degree from the University of Cambridge. After starting my career in London, supporting boutique strategy consultancies with their hiring and acquisition strategy, I transitioned to data analytics and moved to Geneva, Switzerland. As an internal consultant at Expedia Group, I leveraged data to propose solutions for performance issues, optimize supply, and recommend strategic partnerships.
In 2019, I stepped into a hybrid data product role whilst working on the pilot of a new commercial model, bridging the gap between business requirements and technical solutions. Following this, I moved to Zürich to pivot into my first product role in a start up, going on to specialize in online marketplaces.
I leveraged my background in research and analytics to build user-centered products with a data-driven approach, and to establish product analytics and customer success functions for start-ups according to best practice.
Currently, I am working as a Senior Product Manager at Swiss Marketplace Group, where my team and I focus on analytics products, pricing tools and communicating ROI on advertising spend.
Additionally, I am dedicated to coaching early-stage product managers and individuals aspiring to enter the field, helping them find the right roles and build a fulfilling career at every stage of life.
Alongside my career, I have earned podium positions at World and European Championships in Powerlifting and Strongwoman competitions. These days, I dedicate more time as a sponsor, organizer, referee, coach and commentator than as an athlete. Natural Strongman Europe has been one of the most enjoyable products that I have taken from 0 to 1 ;)
