MARIEL BREUER

Freelance Producer | Product Manager | Leadership Consultant

I help startups, scaleups, and mission-driven organizations ship products and build high-performing teams.

With 15+ years across cultural production, digital transformation, tech education, and game development, I bring hands-on production expertise combined with strategic leadership and team development. As an AI-enhanced product manager, I leverage cutting-edge tools to implement AI workflows, build automations, and rapidly prototype solutions.

Berlin-based • Remote & On-site • 15+ years experience across gaming, tech, education & cultural production

What I Do

🎯 Product & Production Management

From shipping a VR game on Meta & Steam (Thoughtfish) to launching an NFT marketplace (IT Rock - Carnaval), managing educational programs for 1,500+ yearly students (SPICED Academy), and leading a 6-year digital transformation at Buenos Aires' Modern Art Museum — I own the full product lifecycle, from roadmap to release to live-ops.

👥 Leadership & Team Development

As Head of Program & Careers at SPICED Academy, I led two teams delivering programs to 1,500+ yearly students. At Ironhack, I coordinated 5 teaching teams simultaneously. I build psychological safety, clear communication, and shared ownership — so creative teams thrive and ship their best work.

🧭 Mentoring & Career Development

500+ professionals mentored across SPICED Academy, Ironhack, and HackYourFuture. From designing Career Service blueprints and job placement programs, to facilitating Agile workshops and coaching capstone teams through real client projects — I help people level up and land where they want to be.

🔄 Agile & Process Optimization

Delivered 5 full-cycle products in one year at IT Rock using tailored Agile frameworks. At SPICED, I built AI-powered survey automation that replaced manual processing with real-time insights at scale. I design systems — sprint ceremonies, backlog workflows, intelligent tooling — that keep shipping without constant intervention.

🎮 Game Production

At Thoughtfish, I took How To God from testing/polish to Early Access on Meta (Dec 2025) and Steam (Feb 2026) — designing the production plan, running QA that cut bugs by 40-50%, completing Spanish localization, and building the post-launch live-ops roadmap. Full-cycle indie production support.
