About Aristotel Dascal
18+ years as a Software Project Manager
With 18+ years as a Software Project Manager (9+ years as a high-performing C2C subcontractor), I specialize in delivering complex initiatives on time and within budget while improving how teams work.
Agencies and SaaS companies
I’ve led projects as an employee in agencies and product companies, then successfully transitioned to independent delivery on major accounts including IBM, Google, T-Mobile, University of Oregon, and many others.
