Bio

Since 2012, I've embarked on a professional journey with giants like Nestle, Motorola Solutions, and Kaspersky—contributing to the growth of their flagship offerings and spearheading new solutions at innovation hubs. In 2022, I started a consulting venture, overseeing end-to-end marketing strategies and orchestrating impactful product launches for technology companies. I serve as a strategic advisor and facilitator for both established companies and startups. I'm here for you to: • Create Marketing Strategy from Day 1; • Evaluate your current stage and marketing initiatives; • Choose marketing channels: dos and don'ts for your product; • Go-to-Market Strategy for launching a new product or expanding into a new market; • Advice on PR strategy and needed action plan; • Build Sales & Marketing team: skills and personalities; • Set up short and long-term OKRs. Let's engage in a dialogue about your marketing roadmap—both immediate and long-term—unveiling efficient 🌱 strategies.

Expertise


  • Building a team

    Over the past 5 years, I have been involved in structuring teams within both corporate environments and startups. I have assisted my clients in hiring or reorganizing marketing and sales functions aligned with the business's OKRs. Feel free to share your ideas or concerns with me, and I will provide various approaches to the hiring process or help you identify the necessary people and skills required for your business.

  • Go to market strategy

    I've been the expert for New Product Launch (NPL) processes in both FMCG and IT sectors for over 8 years. From handling substantial B2C products to excelling in specialized B2B solutions. When it comes to GTM strategy, it's all about gathering a treasure trove of info on your product and clients. The next step? Having the framework and experience to lay out all the puzzle pieces and see the bigger picture.

  • Growth marketing

    With hands-on startup experience, I've helped Sales & Marketing teams hit the jackpot: 5x more quality MQLs and 2x conversion to SQLs in just 3 months. Let's team up to fine-tune your growth strategy—I'll evaluate your current stage and provide recommendations on what to do. Whether it's refining the existing approach or starting from scratch, I've got you covered. Remember, growth hacking isn't just marketing—it's also about how your product and sales teams win over clients.

  • Product marketing

    Beyond product marketing, it's about grasping why your product matters, where your clients hang out, and how to win them over and keep them happy. I've been through it all—starting from the 'aha' moment to getting that product making waves. I've dived into market research and made strategies that rock. I'm here to help you pinpoint your Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs), fine-tune how you present your product, and build an all-around marketing strategy that shines.

  • Sales

    I was guiding B2B sales and business development teams at large corporations (ex.Kaspersky) and startups. I've been through new product launches and team training, adjusting offers and propositions, as well as bridging the conversations between Sales, Marketing, Product, and the final client.

  • User research

    I'm all about diving into customer needs to figure out what clicks—whether it's finding the perfect match for your product, giving it the right vibe, or crafting messages that really hit home. I've done research for established companies like Nestlé and Kaspersky, and even rocked it with startups that are just getting started. Would you like to chat? Let's figure out what you need and whether it's a quick poll, chatty survey, interviews, or well-organized focus groups.
