Hi, I'm Atena

I help organizations make product and strategy decisions where customer needs have real weight.

Service Design

about Me

Customer insight in product and strategy decisions

With a background in service design and technology, I work with organizations that have a customer strategy but struggle to translate it into how teams actually work and decide.

Most organizations I work with aren't ignoring their customers. They care. They run surveys, map journeys, track NPS. The problem is structural: customer needs arrive in the room, but without the weight to influence what happens next. Partner requests come with contracts. Business pressures come with deadlines. Internal priorities come with sponsors. However, Customer needs only get noted.

I help organizations tranfrorm their operational layer. Journey management, customer insight pipelines, prioritization frameworks, the mechanisms that give customer reality real weight in product and strategy decisions, not just a mention in the kickoff deck. My work is embedded and collaborative. I work with your teams, not around them.

My core Services

Operating Model Diagnostic

Diagnostic

I find where customer insight stops reaching decisions by assessing how customer insight gets collected, where it gets stuck, and what's preventing it from reaching the decisions that matter.

JourneyOps

JourneyOps

I help organizations establish journey operations as an continuous organizational practice that connects customer reality to how teams decide and move beyond one-off journey mapping.

Customer insight pipelines

Customer Insight Pipeline

I design the processes and governance that ensure customer signals are continiously collected, curated, and routed to the desicion makers.

Prioritization

Customer-centric Prioritization

I help teams weigh customer needs alongside partner requests and business pressures, so decisions reflect the full picture, not just the loudest voice.

Testimonials

What My Colleagues say

“Atena has acted as the key bridge between service design and product management. She proposed, defined, and rolled out opportunity value index across all our software development practices as a way to bridge understanding gaps between product, design, and technology, as well as to provide a structured framework for all stakeholders to evaluate and understand new roadmap ideas.”

Fennel Aurora

“Throughout our collaboration, Atena has consistently demonstrated a rare combination of strategic thinking and practical execution. Together, we have tackled complex challenges ranging from design discussions and implementation planning to the development of AI-integrated tools. Her ability to navigate these diverse areas while maintaining a clear focus on user needs and organizational goals has been impressive.”

Enrique Parre

“As she moved into Service Design, Atena's impact became even more strategic. She is a designer who doesn't work with assumptions; instead, she seeks clarity by looking at the broader service ecosystem. A great example of her logical approach was her work on opportunity value index derivation. This framework simplified our decision-making process and provide a clear, data-driven path for our product initiatives.”
