About Jerel John Velarde
Director of Product at Full Scale Ventures
Hi, I’m Jerel, and I bring 7 years of leadership experience with a strong focus on Growth Stage Startups, AI, product management, and innovation strategy. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams to develop and launch products that empower people and scale businesses. I’ve also played a key role in founding communities like Datos Pilipinas and AI Pilipinas Cebu, where I’ve helped foster impactful tech collaborations and pave the way for long-term success in the AI space.
As a mentor and speaker, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge, running workshops, and guiding others on leveraging AI for real-world solutions. When I’m not immersed in tech, you can find me exploring new destinations, speaking at events, or diving into a good book.
Here’s how I can help:
