Let's talk and find a way to bring your ideas to life.
I am an entrepreneur to the core and a veteran of the IT industry with over 25 years of experience.
I have worked in fast growing and dynamic fields all my life and know how to weather storms.
a little about myself
I have excellent expertise in SaaS and eCommerce marketing (primarily in North America), but my extensive experience in various industries does not limit me to these areas.
Being a strong leader and communicator and have mentored many employees who have gone on to hold top management positions or start their own companies. I know how to lead a team to success — after all, that’s my job.
I have started a new chapter in my career: in addition to running my own businesses, I advise people who are looking for ways to make their business successful.
My 25+ years of experience allows me to accurately assess the prospects and growth points of any startup. I am ready to use this for your company as well.
The companies I've worked for, the startups I’ve founded, and the steps that have made me who I am today. The most important thing about each stage of my journey has not been the accomplishments or experiences, but the wonderful people who have been by my side.
And yet… There are quite a few things I’m proud of, too!
I can't reveal the details yet, but it's going to slay!
Template library, advanced email builder, deep content personalization — all designed to save time and make life easier for fashion marketers. Like Convead, Markeaze still works today and benefits online retailers.
The project failed to find a match between product and market, proved ineffective, and was shut down.
...for online stores with deep analysis and personalization of customer experience. CDP, email campaigns, widgets, push notifications, segmentation, and product recommendations — all based on self-learning algorithms allowing online stores to increase conversion rates and retention. The company is still operating successfully today.
We failed to find our niche in the market and the product market fit, so I shut it down.
that brought together manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and end buyers from around the world. Daily transaction volume was about $4 million. When I received a merger offer, I accepted it and left the company.
Things were going well, and I eventually sold the company to move on.
After what felt like a million rounds of interviews, I was invited to a DSM position that included regional development, distributor relations, and regional marketing. In this position, I gained foundational knowledge and practical skills in eCommerce, marketing and project management. Two years later, I left Nestle to start my own business.
It was my first legitimately founded company that I co-founded. It was a very successful project until, after two years of work we had to stop our business due to tightening of the state regulation of medical activity. Running Legiartis made me realize that I needed more knowledge in economics and marketing, so I went to university to improve my skills.
A friend and I started reselling plastic goods we bought from a neighbouring entrepreneur. We were only 14 years old at the time, and it was during summer holidays. We managed to set up four outlets and worked wonders — as kids, we felt like we were swimming in cash! When autumn came we had to go back to school and close our small business, but it was an invaluable experience that taught me not to be afraid to try new ideas.
Key Principles
Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future.
I make the most of my opportunities because life is short, and I don't want to regret missed opportunities years later.
I always share my intentions, even if I’m not expected to.
I value what I have and love all the little things in life.
When someone asks me a question, I always give a full and honest answer and don’t withhold information.
I live my life to the fullest and strive not to identify with anything or anyone.
The exception is third-party information and any data that affects my or other people's safety.

Investing in energetic people inspired and motivated by their own ideas
And supporting start-ups at various stages by applying my methodology in marketing and product management.
I support them with both money and my expertise, but I am very selective about my investments and don't have a goal of closing X deals per year. I'm mostly interested in SaaS and AI projects, and my average check is around $50 000.
Studying everything related to neuromarketing
Studying myself and the people around me
I embrace the Buddhist philosophy and some aspects of Osho and Tao, especially the concept of "the pathless path."
Nudge theory, people's online behavior, and decision-making processes. I draw inspire from scientists like Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, Richard Thaler, and Lev Landau.
Traveling as a digital nomad
You can find me wherever there's a sea, mountains, fresh air, happy people... and a reliable Internet connection. So far I've been to 28 countries and I’m always open for new suggestions!
My Interests
Taking care of the environment
Charitable projects
Every computer and server with poorly written code consumes a lot of energy. Idle content and ads generate a lot of unnecessary queries that load the servers — and also consume too much energy.
I believe that we should reduce and delete all unnecessary and redundant pseudo-information on the Internet, create and publish what’s really valuable and helpful for people, optimize program codes and work hard to improve our digital life.
I'm no Gretta Thunberg, but I understand the importance of caring for the environment.
Social Mentoring for Kids
Charitable projects
Independence, critical thinking, and financial awareness are the cornerstones of her upbringing. I want her to grow up to be a free and modern person, able to make her own decisions and have judgement.
I'm raising a future boss to myself: in 15-20 years from now, I’d like her to be able to offer me a job.
First of all, it’s a goal for me: to remain an exceptional expert for years to come and keep building my value.
Second, it sets a bar for her: to build her own business and be able to afford the best professionals for competitive prices.
Fortunately, my daughter has the opportunity to learn everything from me and study this world with her father. But many are deprived of this opportunity: children from orphanages, single-parent or low-income family kids, and so on.
I am a happy father: my wonderful daughter is now 11 years old.
This year I want to launch a social mentoring program for these children. Every three months I will take two or three children under my mentorship.
My main tasks as a mentor are to help the kids socialize in a dynamic digital world and to show them various modern professions — so that a child gets interested in something new and wants to become an expert in that field.
