Position: Head of Product / Product Owner
Category: Product Manager
English level: fluent
Years of experience: 6


I'm a London-based product lead, with over 6 years of experience working on all levels of the software stack. 

My previous startup where I was the CEO & CPO was acquired by a US-based design-tool company in 2020. After the acquisition, I've joined the company (the acquirer) as a Head of Product & Engineering, leading the development ecosystem, and API platform initiatives. 

The API platform was aimed towards expanding core product offerings with additional integrations for enterprise customers. 
As a part of building platform product strategy, I was also responsible for defining the OKRs to drive company goals forward.
By collaborating with marketing, support, design, and engineering, our team delivered a critical OAuth authentication for third-party & in-house integrations, fully native Swift SDK, and significantly enhanced developers' documentation, as well as updated developers website.

Being a founder I had a chance to wear a lot of hats over the course of my career. I particularly enjoy developing product strategies, learning & acting on customers' problems, ensuring users' feedback is always considered, and helping engineering & product teams to grow.
It's important for me to be able to:
• Have the freedom to lead strategical work for a certain product (or a line of product) from start to finish. Being able to define/re-define/extend *problems* the product is trying to solve based on the first-principle. Have access to analytics and overall data infrastructure either directly or in collaboration with the data engineering team.

• Nurture product culture in the company. Sharing insights and learning together with other product leads in the company. Spread the expertise and grow as an organization.

• Have the freedom to adjust the product processes in the organization, optimizing for a higher quality outcome according to company objectives.
