Lea Franco

A PM who keeps
people at the center.

I'm Lea, a 26-year-old Project Manager based in the Philippines with nearly three years of hands-on experience shipping SaaS products across mobile, web, and enterprise platforms. I thrive in fast-moving startup environments where the roadmap changes weekly and calm, clear leadership makes all the difference.

My approach is people-first — I believe the best products come from teams that feel heard, aligned, and trusted. Whether I'm building a product from the ground up or stepping into an active project that needs steadying, I bring structure without rigidity, and momentum without pressure.
