Selected Projects
    Q/A
    • Do you actually have IT and product launch experience, or is this just consulting?
      I have hands-on experience as a CMO and business partner in IT companies. I’ve built commercial departments from scratch, opened new markets (Russia, Asia, international test launches), and implemented CRM and AI services into daily workflows. This isn’t theory — it’s practice.
    • How do I find out I've been invited?
      A black raven will appear on your windowsill, a paper scroll attached to his leg. You'll need to figure out how to take it off. Everything you'll need to know will be written there. Don't forget to send your raven back.
    • How fast will we see results?
      Quick wins usually appear within 1–2 months (CRM running, analytics dashboards, test sales in a new market, AI tools integrated into marketing). Large-scale results come in 6–12 months, but I always secure early wins.
    • Do you work alone or with a team?
      Primarily, I work directly as a partner. But I have a trusted network of specialists (marketing, design, production, automation). I assemble a micro-team when needed — always under my management, so you deal with one point of contact.
    • What makes you different from an agency?
      Agencies often sell “service packages” and report on vanity metrics. I work as a business partner, with a single goal — increase revenue and reduce costs. Plus, I leverage AI and system thinking to achieve results faster and more efficiently.
    • Can you handle our niche (SaaS / B2C / B2B)?
      Yes. I’ve worked with SaaS, consumer services, communities, and startup studios. My approach is always the same: understand the business logic, analyze funnels, test fast hypotheses. Then adapt the strategy to your niche and market.
    • How do you charge?
      I offer two models, depending on the scope and depth of collaboration:

      1. Strategy Execution (Partnership model)
      Fixed monthly fee (retainer) + performance bonus tied to agreed KPIs. This ensures ongoing involvement and shared interest in results.


      2. Project Work
      Fixed project fee split into 50% upfront and 50% upon completion. Ideal for audits, system implementation, or market entry projects with a clear scope.
