Work

Building digital products and securing the space for digital products to be born – these are my two strengths. Over the past decade, I have managed various product teams, helped different startups grow, and completed a variety of projects. More recently, I have begun to rechannel the experience I’ve gained and use my expertise to help others. Today, I support companies and individuals in the following fields:

Product Leadership

Product Leadership

Strong Product Leadership is key to successfully building and selling digital products. I help companies with:

  • Product vision and strategy creation. I ensure that the product vision and strategy is aligned with the overarching company goals.
  • Product strategy implementation. I assure that product team performance is consistent, rapid and effective.
  • Product teams organization. I help build a strong team that will have all the essential skills needed to achieve product goals.
Product Design

Product Design

I believe that successful digital product design is more than creating a User Interface. How do I help companies to create a User-centric design?

  • I lead continuous product discovery. I help product teams to deeply understand their customers and develop products that perfectly suit their needs.
  • I help with prototyping. I know how to create hands-on interactive product prototypes that can be tested by potential and/or existing customers.
  • I provide guidance as a design director. I make sure that the team is creating an appealing design system and that the product design is kept consistent at any stage of development.
Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship

Turning an idea into a product and creating a company from scratch requires a certain set of skills. As a former founder, I have gone through the many ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Having gone from starting a company from zero to successfully selling it in 2016, I can help entrepreneurs with:

  • Business endeavour challenges. I will help you foresee its feasibility and obstacles.
  • Building an MVP (Minimum Viable Product). By releasing your digital product MVP early, you can quickly learn about its market fit.
  • Business advisor services. I share my experience and teach you entrepreneurship dos and don’ts.
  • Financial advisor services. Helping you find the right financing model for your startup and leading you to the successful completion of the financing round.
