Alexander V User
@alexandervuser
Director-led corporate innovation and venture builder focused on measurable economic impact and startup acceleration.
Russian FederationWhat I'm looking for
I drive corporate innovation end-to-end, designing and executing 60+ innovation pilots across banking, fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce at Sberbank—creating $12M+ economic impact. I identify opportunities, structure programs, and manage delivery with a clear focus on speed, quality, and measurable outcomes.
I’ve scaled venture and startup acceleration at national scale: I led 3 waves of Sberbank500, enabling 4,000+ startup applicants and 7,000+ enterprise contracts, with 7B RUB+ raised by alumni. I also built and scaled the SberUnity venture platform from scratch to 50+ partners, and I led the Moscow Startup Summit (4,000+ attendees, 40 countries) to connect startups, corporates, and investors.
I’m a serial founder who blends operator discipline with entrepreneurial momentum—launched 8 ventures independently (3 profitable) and built ecosystems that generate real pipeline (e.g., 300+ qualified leads and 33 contract wins at ShareEver). Now I’m focused on innovation deployment and venture strategy, leveraging startup economics, OKR planning, and tools like Notion, AmoCRM, n8n, and AI agents to reduce time-to-pilot and improve implementation rates.
