About Gabriele Catanese

Technical Product Manager (AI) at Booking.com

I'm an Italian Product Leader based in Amsterdam. I left my own country to follow my endless curiosity and ride the wave of innovation instead of fighting it. In fact, I moved to the Netherlands to leverage my deep knowledge in Linguistics to teach machines how to understand human language. In doing so, I developed a strong expertise in Machine Learning and AI. I now use that same curiosity that has always characterised me, to solve real world problems in the role of Product Manager finding creative applications of my technical knowledge. I thrive translating innovative solutions into concrete business value and mentoring professionals in growing their careers in Tech.

If you are stuck, changing direction, or aiming higher, I’m here to be a sparring partner, not a judge. I can help you with:

-Breaking into product management from another role or field -Growing from junior/mid PM to senior/lead -Creating an effective framework to decide whether AI would add value to your solutions or not and how to communicate it effectively -Using AI in your day-to-day work as a PM (discovery, delivery, communication) -Positioning your story: CV, portfolio, and LinkedIn -Making career decisions and building a learning plan that fits who you are

What mentees say

“Gabriel shared practical skills and strategies for job searching and observations about the Dutch job market. It was instrumental.”

“I had a great session with Gabriele about developing my AI skills for my business. He asked great questions and challenged my thinking. He also gave me good pointers on what to do next so I came away feeling much clearer about my next steps and less overwhelmed”

“Gabriele was one of the best mentors I’ve had a session with. I approached him with questions about building an AI roadmap, but I gained much more — a shift in mindset. He helped me understand how a Product Manager should approach AI, not just from a roadmap perspective, but from a strategic and practical one.”
