@paulprotsenko
Senior project and operations leader delivering complex international technology projects and building £1M+ businesses.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior project and operations leader who thrives on delivering complex international technology projects with measurable outcomes. I combine project discipline, process improvement, and stakeholder alignment to turn ideas into delivered solutions.
In my most recent role as a Senior Business Analyst for an IT logistics project, I delivered 5+ digitalisation and integration initiatives, including API connections to government systems, invoicing automation, and KPI monitoring solutions. I reduced feature delivery time by 67%, cutting time-to-market from three months to four weeks through structured prioritisation and solution evaluation.
Earlier, as a CEO/General Manager/Director in logistics and haulage, I founded and scaled a transport business from startup to £1M+ annual turnover. I owned client contracts, pricing negotiations, daily operations, and budgets—driving double-digit annual growth through pricing optimisation, cost control, and continuous operational improvements, while also reducing administrative workload by 25% through digital invoicing and automated reporting.
Before that, I delivered 10+ complex technology projects in FinTech/trading, coordinating up to 10 cross-functional teams across multiple countries and time zones. I managed concurrent initiatives with budgets of ~£100k per month, navigated regulatory expectations, presented 10+ technical and commercial proposals, and built stakeholder relationships that led to 5+ additional projects.
