Career history
SXOPE — Senior Product Manager
HIPAA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2-compliant AI healthcare ecosystem transforming US value-based care for over 100,000 patients and more than 1,000 primary-care physicians. Delivers real-time clinical intelligence, risk adjustment, and HEDIS gap closure with zero-setup integration into eClinicalWorks, Athenahealth, and Practice Fusion.

- Cut ML model deployment cycles by 75% in 7 months by establishing a unified product roadmap that bridged clinical and ML workflows, plus self-service BI dashboards that let an 11-person clinical and data-science team build, evaluate, and deploy chronic-disease prediction models collaboratively.
- Launched an AI-driven prioritisation engine in 3 months replacing random patient scheduling with a risk-stratified model. Deployed across 100+ clinics, identifying the most vulnerable patients via emergency-risk and multi-factor engagement scoring.
- Saved 400+ engineering hours annually by delivering an ML validation pipeline that stress-tested the AI Clinical Notes platform with synthetic patient–physician encounters and intentionally flawed scenarios — hardening the system without exposing real patient data.
Closed-End Investment Fund — Senior / Product Manager
Private $500M+ closed-end fund with a controlling interest in the top 50 information, news, and entertainment websites in the Russian internet by traffic.

Coordinated 4 engineers, 15 editorial staff, and 2 SEO specialists.
- Designed and launched an NLP / ML US-stock analysis and algorithmic-trading platform in 10 months, reducing manual research effort by 50%. Aggregated insider trades, news, filings, and research across 8,000+ stocks; built proprietary models that produced forecasts, signals, and continuous backtesting for the hedge-fund client.
- Led a team of 20 to launch a fast-fashion e-commerce business, reaching break-even 15% faster than baseline and lifting production capacity by more than 30% via an integrated ERP that automated a 200-person factory end-to-end.
- Lifted company valuation by 10% during a 12-month M&A by leading 8 people on web-performance and ad-revenue work: 30% page-load reduction (CDN, Preact, SSR), 15% time-on-page lift via comments, instant messaging, ML-based spam protection, and a personalised content recommendation system.
CSSSR — Senior Project Manager (Contract)
Russia's largest remote front-end development house, serving FinTech, e-commerce, IT, and media clients.
- Eliminated 300+ hours of manual reporting per month by designing a no-code, company-wide accounting system that tracked spend, revenue, and margin across 100+ projects, 7 teams, and 200 employees in real time. Profits improved by $150K+; the per-project visibility powered a new manager bonus scheme.
- Generated $120K+ in new revenue by establishing public-sector sales and winning 3 high-value IT tenders plus 4 private-sector clients across 20 proposals.
Samara State Medical University — Senior Project Manager (Contract)
AI-powered surgical navigation system that creates real-time 3D models of patients so surgeons can perform complex procedures with millimetre precision.
- Delivered a $4M clinical-trial-qualified hardware-software platform in 9 months for ML and computer-vision-assisted image-guided surgery. Led 50 professionals across embedded and desktop software, QA, data science, electronics, assemblers, and mechanics.
- Cut CT and MRI imaging-software implementation time by 80% and cost by 60% while validating product-market fit in 4 months at 10 vascular and neurosurgery clinics, by introducing a pay-as-you-go SaaS model with on-demand GPU workstations.
- Achieved 4x system performance improvement in 6 months through data-driven optimisation: usage tracking, Sentry error monitoring, ELK analysis on live traffic, bi-weekly demo sessions, and a metrics dashboard.
Magenta Technology — Product Delivery Manager
Multi-agent dynamic route-scheduling and optimisation company serving 30+ B2B and B2C clients in the UK, USA, Italy, Spain, UAE, and Russia.
- Reduced time-to-market 50% for the global dynamic route-optimisation platform in 11 months by introducing a Customer Impact Mapping prioritisation approach and slashing Jira creation/management time 80% via automation and templates.

Leadership philosophy
Five operating principles that hold up across team sizes, industries, and political environments:
- Protect team culture over perfect outcomes. Imperfect solutions that preserve people often beat optimal ones that grind them down. Be transparent about constraints rather than promising what you can't deliver.
- Influence over authority. In matrix organisations, the formal org chart rarely matches the decision graph. Build alliances, leave paper trails, and meet teams where they are — offer help, not just asks.
- Empower domain experts. Self-service validation tools beat gatekeeping. Give clinicians, ops, or finance a deployment lever with appropriate guardrails — democratising control accelerates innovation faster than centralising it.
- Strategic knowledge management. Never confront a toxic high-performer until the team is no longer dependent on them. Document the irreplaceable knowledge first, disguised as team expansion. Succession planning is insurance.
- Pragmatic problem-solving. An 80% solution that ships beats a 100% solution that doesn't. Honest transparency builds more trust than false promises. Sometimes you must pause feature delivery to fix foundations.
