Here’s a quick bio in his own words. Hi, I’m Fernando Fernandez. I’m proud to say that I’m Dominican from the Bronx. Currently, I work at Yelp as a Growth Product Manager focusing on Activation. When I’m not creating new products for Yelp, you can find me running outside, listening to EDM or dancing salsa/bachata. I love celebrating la cultura and also hearing how music really connects people around the world on the dance floor.
