@yulnest
Product owner and manager driving product discovery, Agile delivery, and measurable growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a product owner and product manager who blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution to turn ideas into products that deliver real customer value.
I lead cross-functional initiatives across markets, co-own product roadmaps, write user stories, manage backlogs, and keep delivery on track — achieving a 90% on-time launch rate and ~15% uplift in conversion on marketing sites.
I introduced and scaled Agile practices and tooling (including full Jira setup) to improve team velocity (~20% increase), workload visibility, and predictable delivery across e-commerce and SaaS portfolios.
I drive high-impact initiatives such as AI automation for translations and content optimisation, launched a web platform and AI tool that attracted over 2.3M visitors, and have experience managing grant-funded programs, events, and stakeholder engagement at international levels.
