Work history

About me

Based in London, I led Data and Analytics at leading companies worldwide with up to 1 billion users. I have over a decade of experience launching and scaling fintech products across international markets. My expertise spans the application of AI/Machine Learning to risk management, real-time marketing, and online personalization services.

I spearheaded the launch of a comprehensive fintech service for Yandex (the world's #9 most-visited web service) in LATAM, Africa, and Asia. This initiative included e-wallets, credits, virtual cards, and merchant products for B2C and B2B segments. Before that, he spent 10 years developing and leading teams of up to 500 people in creating data-driven services. 

My academic journey includes an MSc degree in Applied Mathematics (2013) and an MBA from Chicago Booth (2025). I have further honed my skills through onsite fellowship programs at Stanford University (2014) and Georgetown University (2018), focusing on leadership and international development. 

I've been a volunteer at Austin Pets Alive in the US and a mentor within multiple youth programs.

What am I looking for

I am passionate about Data, Tech, and Education. My goal is to share my skills for a better future. I have COO experience and have managed financial strategies for multiple entities. Thus, I believe I could be valuable in trustee and short-term projects in these fields.
