Ruslan Timonin

I’m a Product Owner with 5 years of experience managing the end-to-end lifecycle of enterprise B2B SaaS platforms. I translate complex stakeholder requirements into development-ready workflows and predictable execution roadmaps, with a strong focus on delivering immediate business value.

In my most recent role as Platform Product Owner / Group PO at Goodt, I managed execution of product strategy and a portfolio roadmap for an HR-tech suite serving 10,000+ employees. I aligned 4 distributed agile teams across 5 time zones using strict RICE and WSJF prioritization, partnering with Product Managers and C-level stakeholders to shape scalable, reusable platform features.

I consistently improved delivery and product outcomes: I recovered a projected timeline for a workflow engine transition to a modular monolith by cutting 3 months through descoping and cross-team orchestration. I also cut time-to-demo by ~3x by implementing a reusable presales demo environment and established transparent roadmap prioritization for a tier-1 influx by deferring ~30% of effort into Now/Next/Later based on platform reusability.

Earlier, as Technical Product Owner, I increased quarterly release predictability from 65% to 80% by enforcing DoR/DoD gateways and standardizing backlog refinement. I productized recurring custom requirements into self-service capabilities, reduced change request volume from 32% to 5%, and improved adoption of core platform tools from 35% to 65% through pre-launch A/B testing and better validation of UX.
