IGNASI RIVERO PORTFOLIO

PORTFOLIO CONTENTS

Senior Product Manager & Game Designer with 12+ years and 16 shipped titles, specializing in conceiving and shipping AI-driven user experiences—not just using AI as a tool.

Over 12 years in games, credited on 16 shipped titles across mobile and multi-platform (midcore and casual).
Highlights: Star Trek Fleet Command (Product Owner & Combat Designer, 2023), Kingdom Maker (Game Design, 2022), contributor to Stumble Guys (2022), and Lead Game Designer on Youtubers Life 2 (2021, PS/Xbox/Switch/PC).

Beyond core design, I craft AI-driven player experiences—stateful companions, expressive avatars, real-time voice—and own the product lifecycle end-to-end.

I lead cross-functional teams end-to-end (PRDs, roadmaps, A/B tests, live ops) across Game, Systems, and Level Design as well as Product Ownership.
I lead cross-functional teams with a metrics-first mindset (retention, engagement, revenue), bringing clear creative direction and fast execution to every release.

Hands-on with conversational agents, real-time voice, and embodied UX (Unity/Unreal), I turn data into retention, revenue, and scale.

MORE ABOUT IGNASI RIVERO

I’M A SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER SPECIALIZED IN AI, XR, AND GAMES.
MY LEADERSHIP AND STRATEGIC VISION DRIVE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES,
DATA-DRIVEN PRODUCTS, AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS.

I’m at the forefront of shipping across engines and platforms—Unity, Unreal, custom web platforms, and tailored SaaS—by aligning stakeholders, prioritizing team backlogs, defining clear user stories, and shaping strategic roadmaps.

My approach is to pursue “innovative solutions” and tightly bridge product, engineering, design, and users—turning insights into decisions that teams can execute.

With 12+ years of experience, I focus on discovery-to-delivery: PRDs/specs, RICE/MoSCoW prioritization, and KPI-driven iteration that meaningfully lifts the user experience.

Additionally, I partner with engineering on app, web, and platform initiatives to create seamless, interactive products—owning outcomes, not code.

I operate end-to-end as a Product Manager—user research, A/B testing, and analytics (retention, engagement, revenue)—to ensure every release is robust, intuitive, and aligned with business goals.

MOTIVATION

More than a job, product management and business analysis are my passions. I have the power to turn ideas into strategic projects. My work in AR and VR technology drives immersive experiences that align with business goals. As technology evolves, so do the opportunities for innovation. With the flexibility to work remotely or in diverse teams, I thrive on the excitement of seeing projects succeed.

As a Product Manager, I blend technical fluency with creative problem-solving. My day-to-day spans discovery to delivery—clarifying user stories, prioritizing backlogs, and turning data into decisions with engineering and design. This dynamic work keeps me engaged and continually learning.

With 12+ years in the video game industry, I’ve refined my craft across combat, level, and core gameplay design. I began at Radical Graphics Studio, prototyping and tuning foundational combat loops and building engaging encounters. At Scopely, I served as a Product Manager, translating player insights and business goals into clear specs and live-ops priorities—aligning design, engineering, and analytics to deliver outcomes beyond plan.

My expertise spans systems thinking applied to product: integrating features into core loops to lift retention and engagement, and aligning content strategy with player needs and business goals. I partner with Engineering and Design to scope, prototype, and iterate in Unreal/Unity and on web/SaaS platforms—prioritizing via PRDs and experiments. I balance data and creative vision so every release is measurable, well-tuned, and aligned to KPIs (D1/W1/M1, ARPU/LTV).
