At BATNA.pro, I founded an AI SaaS product for retail and e-commerce and took it from idea to market. At an Armani Exchange franchise in Russia, personal discounts negotiated through our AI agent replaced seasonal sales: 80% of transactions ran through the system, average discounts fell from 31% to 14%, and revenue grew 7%.
I raised $750K and owned the P&L of a $1M+ project, hiring and directly managing a 12-person team. I designed the negotiation engine, combining a heuristic willingness-to-pay model with an ML layer that tuned parameters against acceptance rates. I also launched a Shopify App Store widget, which reached 200+ installs and 15 paying merchants.
At KDV Group, I launched two products from zero, owned KDV Online, and authored the digital bank strategy. Earlier, at Uchi.ru, I grew ARPU by 70% through a new engagement mechanic; at I2BF Global Ventures, I sourced and ran due diligence on early-stage IT and deep-tech startups, contributing to $1.7M in investments.
