My Framework
How I Think
What's in my head?

I work backwards from where things break.

In every context, the work had something in common: understanding where product and market disconnect, making that gap legible to the right teams, and solving it before it becomes a launch, retention, or expansion problem.

Most GTM problems aren't positioning problems. They're translation problems: product knows what it built, marketing knows who it's for, sales have their KPIs, founders want something else, and somewhere between those rooms the message gets lost. I like to find that gap before it becomes an alignment problem.

The tool is always the same: make the complexity legible. Then decide what moves, in constant alignment.

About
Background Daniela Menezes

Production engineering (Benteler, Valeo, Luxottica). Built a jewelry brand from zero (Gostou Estúdio, 10 years, bootstrapped). Agencies (Le Pub, VML/Wunderman Thompson). GTM and brand operations at Zerezes, scaling from 13 to 26 stores. Tech at scale at Meta, CreativeX (WhatsApp, Meta AI).

I work at the intersection between product strategy and market reality, translating what's possible into what customers will buy and how to reach them. It started in engineering: translating product specs into manufacturing viability, spotting bottlenecks before they compromise scale. Then I built a brand from zero, which taught me product-market fit, margins, how operations actually break. Then agencies, where I understood how complex projects coordinate across teams. Then a brand in fast growth, where I built the structure connecting product, tech, and sales from scratch. Now Meta, executing strategy in high-ambiguity, multi-market environments.

Each context taught the same lesson: systems break at friction points. Same skillset whether you're a founder, engineer, or program manager. You spot the bottleneck before it becomes a crisis. The same pattern whether you're building a brand, a campaign, or a GTM program: find where the friction is, make it legible, and build the system that removes it.
