I’m based in the Faroe Islands and have spent the past 25 years working with Business Intelligence across a wide range of tools, technologies, and industries.

Over the last 10 years, my focus has been on Microsoft Power BI and tabular models, working as a consultant on everything from data modeling to reporting and user adoption. I’ve also been actively involved in the community through user groups and events.

Most recently, I founded VIZ.fo—the first conference dedicated to Power BI design.

I have a strong focus on data visualization and how people actually use data. Through years of working closely with business stakeholders, I’ve developed a particular interest in bridging the gap between raw data and real understanding often challenging traditional, Excel-driven ways of working.

Mihaela is a product leader with 15 years experience in building B2C and B2B global products and leading product teams in various industries, from education, e-commerce, to affiliate marketing and automotive.

She's led and scaled cross-functional teams, launched new products, and worked closely with business, design, engineering, and leadership teams in complex environments, while shifting away from a project mindset and towards a user-centric and outcome-oriented approach.

Mihaela believes that putting people first, both end-users and teams, is the key to creating great products.

Throughout her experience, she identified that most product teams don’t fail because of strategy, or lack of skill. They fail because they are not truly aligned in how they understand the work.

She now helps product leaders and cross-functional teams uncover hidden misalignment, clarify how they communicate, and build and speak the shared language needed to make good decisions and deliver outcomes that matter, faster.

Topics include:
- cross-functional collaboration
- outcome-driven product development
- inclusive leadership
- language & alignment in cross-functional teams

After my sessions, audiences typically:
- recognise how language quietly shapes collaboration and decision-making
- see why well-intentioned teams drift out of alignment over time
- gain practical ways to surface hidden assumptions in their own teams
- rethink “alignment” as an ongoing leadership responsibility, not a one-off event

Most importantly, leaders leave with a sharper lens for spotting problems before they turn into delivery failures or team friction.

My talks are grounded in real team dynamics, not idealised models, and they challenge people to look honestly at how they work together.
