What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead product-led transformation for AI-enabled fintech/health products—using discovery, roadmaps, and experimentation to ship measurable growth, with strong cross-functional execution and data-driven decision-making.

I’m a product manager with 6+ years building and scaling AI, fintech, and health-tech products—from discovery and roadmap to nationwide rollout. I’ve owned performance and P&L of an AI product portfolio (~$330M annual profit) at Sber, and I now lead product-led transformation at Salmon Bank, turning offline lending operations into a business line contributing >10% of company profit.

I make evidence-first product decisions: I run A/B experimentation and BI+AI decision-support, and I turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into shipped, measurable products. From designing operating models for 3,200+ stores and 2,500+ agents to building automated performance-management frameworks and end-to-end product pilots, I bring disciplined product strategy, cross-functional leadership, and change management to deliver growth.
