Summary
Ivan Netto is Head of Design at Rocket.Chat with 11 years of experience blending product design, front-end engineering, and design systems leadership from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. He has progressed from senior front-end roles into leading and scaling design teams, owning the full lifecycle of an enterprise design system (Fuselage) and governance that enables cross-team contributions. Ivan is skilled at partnering with engineering and product to create pragmatic, production-ready components and workflows that improve velocity and consistency across products. He champions hire-to-mentor practices, pairing design with front-end engineering to embed knowledge and make teams self-sustaining as the company grows. A hands-on leader, he still conducts user research, prototyping and QA, ensuring solutions are both usable and implementable under real-world constraints. Not obvious from titles alone: his early front-end background informs a rare fluency between code and design that accelerates delivery and reduces handoff friction.
