Roman Riabokon
@romanriabokon
Product leader building AI-assisted products, including Nha Trang Yacht, which captured ~15% of the local market.
What I'm looking for
As CBDO and Product Manager for a Web3 Watch-to-Earn app, I owned its game mechanics, in-game economy, tokenomics, and investor financial model. The app reached 5M+ downloads, users earned $3M+, and the company raised $30M+.
Since 2024, I’ve been building my own products with AI-assisted development. Nha Trang Yacht launched mid-season and captured ~15% of the local market; I’m preparing SEO/GEO and content strategy to grow its share next season.
I’m also developing Collabus, a marketplace connecting local businesses with content creators. Its Telegram mini-app MVP validated demand, and I’m moving it to a native app for a bilingual Russian ↔ Vietnamese audience. For Vietcoupone, I worked on the city discount pass, monetization, referrals, and online payments.
Earlier, I built an influencer division from scratch, growing it to four departments and 30+ people, and signed 1,000+ creators across CIS while cutting influencer costs 8×. I’ve also spent the last two years shipping products hands-on, using AI tools to test hypotheses quickly and shutting down work when the output doesn’t meet my bar.
