How I lead

Three pillars behind every team I’ve led.

I lead through all three — and never far from the craft, from 0→1 to the detail.

  • Strategy begins with behavior.

    I work as a C-suite partner: connecting behavioral research to hard business metrics — TTV, conversion, retention. The success metric is defined before scope is set, not reverse-engineered afterward.

  • DesignOps is how the team delivers value.

    Design systems and workflows that reduce cross-functional friction, cut lead time, and free the team to focus on innovation — not process overhead. Good systems make repeatability the default.

  • You build the team before the product.

    Designers, researchers, and ops with autonomy, psychological safety, and room to experiment. Speed is a people problem before it's a process problem. Leadership means building the conditions for that first.

Mailton’s arrival was pivotal to the team’s visibility and standing within the company. A true leader, with a way of leading that makes a real difference in people’s growth.
