# Francesca De Luca

Product lead at a Milan-based fintech company, specializing in product management within highly regulated financial services environments. Francesca appeared on the podcast to discuss the unique challenges of building product in industries with strict compliance requirements, from navigating regulatory constraints to working with legal teams and turning compliance into a competitive advantage rather than a blocker.

## Notes

- Articulate and precise; the kind of PM who can explain regulatory complexity without putting the audience to sleep
- Shared a useful framework for "compliance-aware product development" that resonated with listeners in regulated industries
- Based in Milan, which made the recording logistics easy; they met in person at a local coworking space
- Her background in economics before transitioning to product management gives her a different analytical lens than most tech PMs
