@katmarkava
Seasoned product leader driving SaaS and B2C revenue and product strategy.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a seasoned product leader with ten years of experience driving SaaS and B2C strategies, aligning cross-functional teams to deliver multimillion-dollar roadmaps and significant cost savings. I focus on empathetic, curious leadership and building diverse, empowered teams that move fast and iterate with purpose.
My work has spanned startups and enterprise environments where I launched mobile apps, led platform and API integrations, and established product analytics and AI-powered operations that improved time-to-value and decision speed. I have repeatedly delivered measurable outcomes, including ARR growth, large partner-driven sales, and major platform revenue contributions.
I prioritize customer-obsessed discovery, data-informed roadmapping, and clear stakeholder alignment to accelerate delivery. Outside work, I draw comics, play RPGs, and read science fiction in Chinese, Russian, and Belarusian—activities that feed my creativity and cross-cultural perspective.
