FILIPA FALCÃO REIS



The Unconventional Geek



Passionate about innovation: Be disruptive!

I see myself as a student of life, always learning new things and eager to learn more. Therefore, I enjoy new challenges and I am always looking for how to overcome my limits. I am a Fashionista, a Sports enthusiast, a Music and Arts Lover and Traveller by nature! I do "believe in Pink" and that to be yourself in a world that pushes you to be a follower of trends is the greatest achievement you will ever get!

Thus I am a passionate person who has courage to stand for her beliefs and the drive to lead initiatives with optimism and fierce determination "making things happen"​.



Product Management



From ideation to launch, including Design (UX/UI), Requirements Elicitation and Gathering to Development and Testing using Agile methods, I love to be involved throughout the entire creative process and help teams successfully build innovative products that will delight its users with the best experience.



Agile Software Development



As a CSM® and CSPO® I have always rejected the Agile Evangelist "label". I am an "Agent of Change" and an Agile Practitioner instead. Because "I prefer to do it rather than to preach it to the choir". Be disruptive! Adopt and adapt , try and fail and fail until you succeed .. that is how Agile Software Development is done.



Luxury Fashion



As a teenager in the 90's I was into the grunge movement and Super-Models. From scrapbooking the latest trends to sketching clothes with my set of Caran d’Ache pastel pencils, I 've developed passion for Fashion and pursued it professionally until I worked as an eCommerce Product Owner for a Luxury Fashion Company.



Photography Lover



Equipped with my iPhone 7 I wander the streets of Porto (Portugal), London (UK) and Frankfurt am Main (Germany) .. always looking around and capture moments or experiences through the camera. I also love photos that make objects, cloth, food, fashion or landscapes have its own life. I try to capture what the eyes cannot see!
