My greatest achievement is optimizing cost structure and increasing product profitability margin by 30% over a year. I led this project from hypothesis stage to full implementation, including user research (surveys, historical data analysis), requirements writing (preparation of epic description, work breakdown structure, design and engineering teams supervision), testing, set up of monitoring, etc. The project culminated in set-up of separate unit within my company (team of 10+ people with their own KPIs and processes) and to fundamental changes in operational activities in other units.

Another work that makes me proud is stabilizing a product with profound performance problems and poor-quality code base (5+ year product, developed by a team of 30+ throughout its history, with spaghetti code and old frameworks). Improved performance metrics from 1 to 110 concurrent users within 6 months.
Vast experience in product and delivery management, managing cross-functional teams of 20+ people, aligning stakeholder expectations, and leading end-to-end development of B2B and B2C applications.

I've worked with a variety of products:
- B2B products for Swedish and UK clients, and internal systems, incl. 5‑year product in adtech & media, fintech start‑up at discovery stage, internal tools for HR operations and overall projects portfolio reporting.
- B2C products (marketplace for content writing services, mobile app), selected modules in CRM system. 

My key expertise lies in:
1) Market research, competitor analysis. 
2) User research (in-depth interviews, analysis of data to formulate hypotheses and design experiments). 
3) Requirements elicitation and writing, backlog refinement, prioritization. 
4) Engineering teams supervision.
5) Business communication, stakeholders management. 

Apart from product management, I have experience setting up a department from scratch, including:
1) developing department goals and pitching the idea to top management of the company; 
2) composing the team;
3) setting team KPIs and individual targets, developing a bonus system.

From new project and company I expect: 
1. Established corporate culture and values. 
2. Flat organizational structure, minimum bureaucracy.  
3. Ability to apply product management best practices.
4. Power to make decisions.
5. Nice and friendly atmosphere:-)
