As the present Chief Technology & Product Officer at a big IT product, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. My background includes roles as Project, Product, and Delivery Manager, as well as PMO and Head of Product. I am adept at advising companies across diverse industries, which I believe can strengthen your management team and expedite the successful delivery of your products.

I'm skilled in leading remote and distributed teams, leveraging my dual expertise in technology and business to bridge the gap between these crucial sectors. My professional journey of 8 years in Project/Product Management and 11+ years overall in the IT industry has seen me wearing multiple hats - Full-stack Software Engineer, UX Designer, and Webmaster, among others. 

With a keen ability to adapt to the unique context of your industry, I offer my extensive experience for the enrichment of your brand. I excel in translating business needs into technical requirements, providing visionary product guidance, and facilitating Agile and PM activities.

Moreover, I am adept at setting up workflows from scratch, optimizing existing processes, managing client expectations, and effectively handling risks. My deep comprehension of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and monetization strategies spans a variety of IT products - from Web and E-commerce to Low Code, Social, Dating, SaaS, B2B, B2C, Education, and Gaming. I'm also well-versed in CMS platforms including Magento, Shopify, PrestaShop, and WooCommerce.

In managing multiple international products with several teams, both in production and development stages, I have honed my leadership and strategic skills.

In my toolkit of methodologies, I’ve worked with a spectrum of Agile frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, custom “Scrumban”, SAFe, Lean, and Six Sigma. All of them seasoned with the best PMBOK practices. I also hold scrum master and product owner certifications, including PSM. My expertise extends to business analysis, idea validation, and data-driven decision-making via HADI cycle, A/B testing, User Testing, Analytics, and Market Research. 

Over my PM journey, I've amassed 5+ years of expertise in UX/UI design, enabling me to craft detailed and effective wireframes or prototypes, regardless of complexity. As a PM Team Lead and Creative Lead, I spearheaded web product initiatives and oversaw an entire creative department and PMO. This experience deepened my understanding of design trends, tools, and features.
My primary focus is centered on innovative product companies and game development studios. If your organization aligns with these categories, it would undoubtedly capture my highest priority.

But, let's put first things first. My aspiration isn't merely to be a part of your company, but to become a vital contributor to its success. I aim to bring significant value to your company, your teams, your end users or clients, and to your products or games. I wish to see the results of my efforts, to feel the ripple of my impact, in order to proudly declare these elements as not just yours but 'ours.'

I'm also on the lookout for an experienced, open-minded team - a band of forward-thinkers who encourage innovation and collaboration. Only in such a stimulating environment can I best apply my skills and contribute to our mutual success.
