Hello, I'm Ricardo. I solve product problems in complex regulated industries.

For 25+ years, I've worked at the intersection of Product and Design across energy, cybersecurity, financial services, compliance, supply chain risk, and others—translating technical and regulatory complexity into products that reduce operational burden and delight users.

I work as a fractional CDO/CPO with startups, consult with companies navigating regulated domains, and take on product/design leadership roles where systematic discovery and learning velocity matter more than existing domain expertise.
