Elena Cabrera Casquet

hi, I'm Elena. I am a Builder. I enjoy creating software products and solving problems in creative ways.

about me

Based in Madrid, but originally from Lanzarote. Always enjoyed building stuff and learning new things, I guess that's why I'm drawn to startups and entrepreneurship.

I love reading, cooking, and traveling. I also enjoy spending time with my loved ones and my dog, especially out in nature. Occasionally surfing… but honestly, not very good at it.

work

I started my career as a Business Consultant and transitioned into a Product Engineer role at a startup, where I've been able to combine my technical skills with my communication and leadership skills, finding that I love bringing products from idea to reality.

Lead Product Engineer @ SwitchFleet

I lead the Product Team at SwitchFleet, a Spanish startup that creates software solutions to help companies measure and reduce their fleet's carbon footprint. I'm responsible for the product strategy and delivery. Since I joined, I've developed the company's data pipeline and built a B2B SaaS web application from scratch, from the initial idea to the MVP and beyond.
