I am Mattia Borchi, a Technical Product Manager working in the coffee industry, building products for coffee professionals and enthusiasts across global markets since 2019.
My background combines mechatronics with a B.Sc. in Business and Economics focused on econometrics. This shapes my approach: systems-oriented, data-driven product decisions.
At the core of my work is a belief that great products start with listening. I focus on translating consumer insights and technical constraints into product decisions that are both meaningful to users and viable to build
Originally from Tuscany, Italy, and now based in Germany, I have worked across multiple countries and speak three languages, collaborating with cross-functional teams and customers throughout Europe and beyond.
Outside of work: traveller, coffee enthusiast, lifelong learner, and proud pizza maker.
