Years of experience: 3

In 2014 I co-founded the very first escape-room company in Ukraine. As a CEO responsible for business development in 3 years, I turned the company into the international franchise network of 100+ escape rooms in Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Poland, Turkey, Switzerland, Guatemala, and Honduras with over 300k customers.

4 years later, as the CEO of another tech/entertainment startup, I was responsible for early-stage fundraising. I won 3 awards in Ukraine and presented the startup at Web Summit and CES. Eventually, it helped to raise $100k in Seed investments from a VC fund.
I have over 10 years of experience in business development and product management in multiple industries including education, entertainment, and VR/AR.

From the most recent experience, in 2018 I co-founded a startup in the tech/entertainment industry and as a CEO led it from a hackathon-born idea to the commercial launch. Backed by the VC fund for $100k in Seed round, after 9 months of operations, the startup was shut down as a strong product-market fit wasn't found.

Then I pivoted a team into a VR/AR studio focusing on delivering client projects in healthcare, retail, art, and events industries.
As a product manager, I was responsible for the elicitation of requirements, estimation process, creation of the user stories, prioritizing the backlog, and managing the 2-week sprints.
I also managed a team of developers and artists to develop the prototypes, testing it on real users, analyzing their feedback for product development.
I'm really proud of products released by our studio for contemporary art VR exhibition and VR experience during the blood tests for a private clinic.

To broaden my expertise in product management, in 2019-2020  I've taken several industry-leading certified courses. 

I consider further career development into the product management of ambitious products on global markets.
My goal is to join a highly-motivated and professional team with a great vision and passion for developing state-of-art products.

I'm inspired by big challenges and feel comfortable working in a situation of high-level uncertainty. Being a strong team player I also require room for decision making and responsibility for the final result.
