> Intro:
I have experience selling complex FinTech products and custom web and mobile development services along with DevOps & system administration services. My responsibilities aren't limited only to traditional non-technical sales activities but are complemented with a pretty decent knowledge of technology, as I've initially studied to be a developer.

I can help you with sales, product and market analysis, marketing and sales process organization, team management and quality analysis since I have had a chance to speak with numerous traditional FinTech and crypto startups, scale-ups and established businesses all over the globe.

I worked with and helped clients from the US, EU, South America, MENA, and Asia and managed to find a common language with every nation and every personality.
I'll be glad to share references who can speak about how I do things.

My career objective is to gain more expertise on a product and client level since I was always involved in the operations of the vendor/service provider.

My open-mindedness, empathy and experience in negotiations with numerous startups and enterprises would be useful for product and business development, because I know and examined pain points and success stories of various global players.
