― My background
I've gone through a number of phases in my life and career.
For the past couple of years, I had the incredible opportunity to live and work in China, as a Product Manager for a global technology company. I've grown my ability to adapt while working with the search and recommendation challenges of a global product.
While in my home country - Brazil - I made a career in Sales, at a SaaS startup company. There I was able to experience building a new area from the ground, develop my leadership skills and drive results with consistency.
Now I'm heading to the next phase in my global career, uniting LATAM + APAC + EMEA. I'm excited about the new challenges ahead and to find the next company that will allow me to continue building things that last, from relationships to products.

What they say:
― Manuela lenzi
I worked in areas related to Karyn for more than 5 years. She has a high ability to deal with decision-making, leadership, and delivering high-impact results. She has accountability for her self-development and also for helping the development of team members and peers. I'd love to work with her on other opportunities.

Karyn is a professional that any leader can count on with transparency, commitment, and high-performance demands. Following Karyn's growth and achievements as a salesperson and then manager of two different sales teams made me sure of her focus on results and concern for the development of her team. Working with her means having someone who is always motivated by learning, growth and overcoming.
