@ulianashirokova
I build investment cases, financial models, and growth strategies for ventures, marketplaces, and new products.
What I'm looking for
At WAM Partners, I own financial modeling, valuation, and market sizing for a stealth-mode venture, partnering with the Director of AI to build an investment-ready case for firm leadership.
I also evaluate early-stage companies, stress-test unit economics and strategic assumptions, and prototype analytical tools and product concepts with AI-assisted development to accelerate investment decisions.
Previously at KUPER, I led strategy, budgeting, forecasting, and P&L planning across three business units representing 40% of company GMV. I led a cross-functional group of about 30 to redesign fulfillment operations, cutting costs by 8% without reducing customer satisfaction or courier retention.
At OZON, I built driver-based FP&A models that achieved 98% GMV and revenue forecast accuracy, created self-serve SQL and Tableau reporting, and designed a profitability-linked incentive framework for 300+ employees. I bring marketplace, investment evaluation, and deep-tech commercialization experience to turning incomplete data into actionable business decisions.
