Beyond sprints: strategic leadership

My focus isn’t on task-level control
While I am an employee, I bring a partner's mindset to the table
I think about your business as an entrepreneur thinks about their own

My focus

01
Strategy
Work closely with CEO and founders to define and achieve mutual long-term ambitions
02
Processes
Create harmonious operations through effective cross-team collaboration to achieve goals
03
Customer satisfaction
Keeping customers happy and engaged is the key to building strong brand loyalty
EBITDA and ROI
All decisions are aimed at driving EBITDA growth with ROI in mind
04
Visionary
Predict industry shifts to keep products ahead and align offerings with future demands

This is achieved through market research, tracking innovations, and following industry meetups

Skills and experience

Curiosity and ambitions

I have built marketing, sales, and support departments from scratch
And worked closely with each of them in every company I've been part of
6 years as a Senior Developer allows me communicate fluently with technical teams and quickly validate complex hypotheses
