Co-founder & CPO, Lovelaice
Product leader from regulated fintech — 10+ years shipping software people can stand behind.
Madalina is co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Lovelaice. She brings more than ten years of product experience from fintech, payments, and compliance — environments where you can't ship something just because the demo looks right. Before Lovelaice she led AI product development inside a highly regulated fintech, watching first-hand how teams struggled to evaluate AI features against the standards their industries demand.
She is a CFA charterholder, which informs how she thinks about model risk, calibration, and the costs of being wrong at scale. At Lovelaice she leads the product practice, owns the customer relationship for early design partners, and shapes how product managers — not just engineers — can drive AI quality.
Madalina teaches product managers on Maven, co-leading two cohorts with Catalina: "Build AI Features for Confident Product Managers" and "AI Evals for Product Managers". She writes here about the workflows product teams need when domain experts, not data scientists, are the people who actually know whether the AI is working.
