What I'm looking for

I seek senior product leadership roles in fintech/crypto where I can drive product strategy, mentor teams, build profitable products, lead operations and growth, and work closely with engineering in a data-driven, fast-paced culture.

I am a product leader and operator with a track record of launching profitable fintech and crypto products, building teams, and driving revenue growth. I have led product organizations, recruited and mentored product managers, launched major products (exchange, pro, prime, mobile apps), and implemented risk and capital-efficiency frameworks that sustained business through market shocks.

I combine hands-on product strategy, UX research, POC creation and agile operations to move ideas to market quickly and reliably. I enjoy mentoring teams, building cross-functional structures, and delivering measurable outcomes — higher activation, recurring customers, and significant increases in volume and revenue across international markets.
