Top SchoolYan Mendes is a hands-on product leader with nine years of experience combining deep technical expertise and business acumen—holding dual degrees in Computer Science and Accounting plus a master’s in Computer Science.

Earlier, he optimized a sales platform at Escale to support 100+ SDRs and materially improved conversion in the health insurance vertical. Now leading product and design at Cayena from São Paulo, he blends engineering rigor with product strategy and an uncommon fluency in legal and operational structures for startups (including authoring a country-adopted startup investment instrument).
