About
I’m Miguel Sá, a product and digital transformation professional with 7+ years of experience turning complex, ambiguous business problems into practical, scalable SaaS products and services. I focus on product strategy and roadmaps, requirements engineering, and validating solutions through user research, prototypes, and testing—while aligning teams and stakeholders across customers, engineering, research organizations, and public-sector partners.
Across my roles, I’ve led initiatives spanning product discovery, customer research, and delivery, including digitizing supply chains and implementing tools like Digital Product Passports with European innovation programs. I’ve also scaled enterprise SaaS pilots from early rollouts to large multi-site implementations, managed multi-stakeholder projects and funding proposals, and delivered workshops and training to support adoption of digital transformation and Industry 4.0 capabilities.
