What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows me to lead product design initiatives.

I am a seasoned product leader with extensive experience in various industries, including SaaS, Fintech, and E-commerce. My journey has taken me from founding startups to leading design teams, where I have played pivotal roles in product development and team growth. I thrive in the early stages of product creation, leveraging design thinking to enhance existing products and create new ones from scratch.

Throughout my career, I have successfully launched multiple products, including a low-code flow programming tool and an all-in-one trading platform. My ability to attract investments and improve product offerings has been instrumental in my roles at companies like Yandex and Itmeo. I am passionate about building strong product visions and fostering collaborative environments that drive innovation and user satisfaction.
