Project manager driving product growth, cross-functional teams, and measurable business KPIs.
What I'm looking for
I am a project manager with 15+ years building web and mobile products, loyalty programs, and fintech solutions across large-scale marketplaces and bank ecosystems. I prioritize delivering business KPIs — increasing revenue, MAU, and conversion funnels — while keeping teams motivated and aligned.
I've led in-house and outsourced teams up to 25 people and managed IT departments of 20, delivering projects with seven-figure budgets and measurable outcomes: doubled communications velocity, +50% revenue over two years, +200% goods listings, and large user acquisition at launch.
I combine Agile project delivery, product thinking, and financial analysis to optimize processes, reduce costs, and scale platforms. I value clear communication, people development, and pragmatic solutions that make stakeholders, clients, and teams successful.
