Bio
Hi, I'm Yulia - Deputy CPO in the international crowd-sourced same-day delivery company Dostavista (called Borzo outside of Russia). I built an amazing team of Product Analysts in this company, who are also researchers, so basically it's an R&D team. Also, I manage Product Operations and consult Product Managers. As a deputy CPO, I supervise organizational changes, process improvements, and methodology training. I'm a data-savvy and data-driven, strategically thinking Product Manager and my teams are using the same approach:) I can consult on Product Analytics, help with researches, give advice on building key metrics trees or finding growth loops in your cases. Also, I can share my experience with hiring and motivating a product and analytics dream team to the point where employees have outgrown me as experts in their fields (it feels amazing, by the way!). I love inspiring people and would be glad to share my experience with you.
Expertise
Building a team
Can help you to build a team of A-players, especially if it's an R&D team:) In Borzo I built a team of Product Analysts and an R&D team from scratch.
Product management
I am adept at data-driven Product Management. "Data-driven" is not just a word for me, it means a lot:) Possibly because I have an analyst background and tend to system thinking, but I really love to check any bold hypothesis by experiments and I don't make any important conclusions as PM without data analysis at all.
Venting frustration
I am an attentive listener, very positive, and supportive. Feel free to tell me about any of your issues at work! If needed, I can give advice. But sometimes only support, understanding, empathy are needed - I can do it:)
Toolkit
JIRA
19 years of experienceFamiliar with most parts of admin settings. Can help your company to adjust JIRA to your processes. Can help you with development processes optimization as well, I am Project Manager in the past.
MySQL
19 years of experienceSame level as data-analyst. Queries of any complexity levels. I can help you to choose SQL test tasks for interviews. I can help you with non-standard SQL tasks at work. BUT I am not a data engineer:)
Tableau
9 years of experienceI love Tableau! Same as JIRA- I introduced it more than in one company:) Helped with teaching employees to use it. They still use it! I am not BI specialist, but I use BI tools a lot while helping my team to do various researches.
