I build businesses and lead them through change.

I co-founded a MedTech company and led it to acquisition, ran the transformation of customer operations at a major digital bank, and now lead a game studio.

I work where product, AI, and the P&L meet.

Gaming

Studio CEO2025–present

Product Delivery Director & Executive Operations Producer2023–2025

Growing an established games business.

I lead a studio with responsibility for its P&L, product direction, and operations. We grew revenue and profit by reshaping LiveOps, monetization, and the cost base. We did it without increasing user acquisition spend or growing the team: the capacity came from optimizing how the studio already worked.

More about my role +

My focus is on strengthening mature products: improving how they serve players, how teams operate, and how the business generates sustainable profit.

How I work

Strategy I stay accountable for.

01

I start with the economics.

At Playkot that meant reshaping LiveOps, monetization, and the cost base before building anything new.

02

I put AI where it changes a decision.

At Tinkoff, that was routing each customer query to the right operator by topic, complexity, and skill.

03

I stay until it works.

I have carried P&L responsibility as a founder and as a studio CEO.
