Paula Mariani Mazzoni · Product & UX Leader

Sharp finance,
free spirit.

I help banks and fintechs decide what to build and why it matters — and I help founders design a life's work worth living. Fractional product leadership, a membership for AI founders, and journeys that put you back in the market.

Create your life's work with AI

You've seen what your life's work is about. Now you need to start from zero — or pivot the business you already have — and scale it in a way that once seemed impossible. The old tools aren't enough when you switch from designing to creating your work life. Let's do it together, with AI as your co-builder.

  • Launch a product idea in a single focused day
  • Use AI to go from blank page to working concept
  • Leave with a direction you can actually build
Format
1-day intensive

Becoming Fractional

For a long time I worked in the corporate world full-time. After I took the first step out, things started happening. It's possible — and lots of people are already doing it. Becoming Fractional is the training I wish I'd had: how to package senior experience, find clients, price your time, and build a practice that funds the life you want.

  • Position and package your senior experience
  • Find clients, price your time, set boundaries
  • Build a practice that fits your lifestyle

Senior operators & advisors
