Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Roy is a product and design leader with 11 years of experience building design systems, scaling product teams, and driving measurable operational impact across startups and scaleups from Barcelona. As founder of Pensero and a long-time consultant at Northswiss, he blends hands-on UI craft with strategic product thinking—having delivered multi-platform design systems that saved six-figure sums and launched high-growth products across SaaS, travel and logistics. Former design lead roles at Stuart, TravelPerk and Skyscanner show his strength in unifying cross-functional teams, hiring and career frameworks while remaining deeply involved in research and hands-on delivery. He regularly embeds in early-stage companies to set design foundations, recruit first hires, and translate business goals into reusable patterns. Notably, he’s as comfortable building micro-frontends and design ops as he is shaping company-wide product strategy, bringing a pragmatic, user-first approach rooted in psychology and pattern thinking.
