## About

```text
At Circle Creative Buro, I restructured the department’s organizational framework for a team of 12, introducing standardized dashboards and performance tracking for individual and team metrics. I also created PRD templates and task-handling algorithms to streamline collaboration with adjacent departments.

At Freedom Bank Kazakhstan, I managed the full product cycle for digital lending to legal entities, from customer journey mapping and requirements discovery to prioritization and roadmaps. I also implemented electronic document management to improve offline lending procedures for corporate clients.

At MakeIT Academy, I managed the product backlog and risks, and directed the launch of a professional development course for people pursuing Senior Product Manager roles. I also co-created the Senior Product Manager course.

In my private investment consulting practice, I conduct business valuations, build financial models, and prepare investment packages for organizations including Magnum, Royal Petrol, and the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan. I also research markets and competitors, develop go-to-market strategies, and work with venture capital funds such as Activat VC to assess startup traction and prepare investor materials.
