I build scalable digital business models through market strategy, unit economics, and growth experimentation.
What I'm looking for
I help founders and digital businesses design scalable business models, moving from first sales to growth systems through market strategy, unit economics, product structure, and experimentation.
As CPO and Co-Founder at o-nion, and through my independent product and growth strategy work, I focus on market sizing, positioning, upsells, cross-sells, business model design, and growth hypotheses. I work primarily with founders in CIS and Southeast Asian markets.
Previously, I launched private-label brands on Amazon, sourcing through Alibaba and selling in the US with average product ROI of 180% and profit margins above 45%. I also led marketing strategy for projects including the Eurasian Trade System commodity exchange and Pollicollect.
Alongside consulting, I've taught marketing, digital marketing, e-commerce, brand management, and marketing research at Compass College and the American University of Central Asia. I enjoy the analytical side of business that many teams skip, and I bring that perspective to founders, entrepreneurs, and students.
