@jenskasemets
I build technical products from early-stage ideas to enterprise platforms.
EstoniaWhat I'm looking for
I've spent 25 years building across code, design, and product, most recently as Staff Product Manager at Pactum AI, working on the platform behind its AI negotiation product.
At Single.Earth, I was CPO and built a crypto token and marketplace from scratch while helping productize science for measuring forest CO2 capture and biodiversity.
At Wire, I grew from Product Owner to Director of Customer Operations & Billing, helping take the product from a free consumer app to an SMB, enterprise, and government-grade solution. At Klaus, I built and led Product, Design, and Research, tripling their combined headcount in under a year.
I've also co-founded hardware startup Shaka, led innovation and a product portfolio at OIXIO Digital, and run web projects and SEO at Skype. I'm half-nerd, half-human: technically minded, still coding and building with AI tools, and focused on why people do what they do.
