Обо мне

Product leader with 10+ years of experience building and scaling FinTech , Web3, iGaming platforms, and high-growth M arketplaces of digital goods and FMCG ( USA market 6+ years) !



Managed products processing $5B+ payment volume and platforms serving 5M+ monthly users.


My focus sits at the intersection of product strategy, unit economics, and infrastructure — building systems that unlock liquidity, improve transaction efficiency, and scale globally.


Previously:


• CPO at CS.Money — one of the world’s largest digital asset marketplaces (5M+ MAU), where I led product strategy and marketplace transformation into a scalable P2P economic model.


• Product Owner at Quantfury — trading platform used globally for real-time market execution.


Across my career I have launched 11 B2B and B2C products across FinTech, Web3, marketplaces, and SaaS — most of them built for US and European markets.


Core strengths:


• Payments & FinTech infrastructure


• Platform and marketplace economics


• High-velocity experimentation and product validation


• Cross-functional leadership without authority


• AI-native product execution and rapid prototyping


I enjoy building products where strong economics, infrastructure leverage, and user behavior align to create scalable systems.


СORE PRODUCT CAPABILITIES


Revenue & unit-economics ownership — end-to-end responsibility for MRR, GGR, ARPU, pricing, subscriptions, and funnel economics across B2C SaaS and B2B platforms.


High-velocity validation & delivery — rapid hypothesis testing, MVP launches, and experimentation cycles, consistently cutting time-to-market and killing low-signal ideas early.


Cross-functional leadership without authority — driving alignment and decisions across product, analytics, marketing, and stakeholders through metrics, clear ownership, and execution cadence


Vibe coding & rapid prototyping (Cursor) — hands-on prototyping, and fast iteration to move from idea to testable product
