What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and strategic growth, where I can leverage my skills in product management and market strategy.

I am an entrepreneurial strategist and founder of Femtosh, dedicated to driving brand expansion and market entry for Western companies in the MENSA region. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the ability to identify new market opportunities and run lean experimentation cycles. I am passionate about translating customer insights into actionable go-to-market strategies, combining analytics, creativity, and collaboration to launch and scale innovative solutions.

In my recent role as a Product Manager at Apple, I worked closely with music division teams to develop market strategies and manage product development. I led feature planning and user engagement strategies, ensuring alignment between product goals and creative vision. Previously, as Chief Operating Officer at SkyHire GmbH, I directed operations for a growing HR-tech startup, focusing on client engagement and service innovation while managing high-stakes relationships with major clients like Siemens and Mercedes-Benz.

My diverse experience also includes freelance web development, where I designed and deployed websites with a focus on user experience and branding for various clients. I hold an MBA from Boston University and have a background in film and video game scoring from Berklee College of Music, which enhances my creative approach to strategic operations.
