When they come to me

Most often, companies come with these problems:

Metrics are falling and the team doesn't understand why

Retention is declining, revenue is stagnating, but there's no system to analyze the reasons

No product strategy

The team works in 'firefighting' mode, builds features without understanding the big picture

Product processes are not set up

No regular analytics, user research, or task prioritization

Team is not growing

Product managers are not developing, there's no mentoring or training

Expensive feature launches

Each feature takes months to develop but doesn't bring expected results

Competitors are overtaking

No understanding of the market, competitors and trends, the company is falling behind

What you will get

Concrete results that are measured in metrics and money:

Working product strategy

Clear product development plan for 6-12 months tied to metrics and business goals

Growth of key metrics

Retention increase by 15-30%, revenue growth by 20-40%, LTV improvement

Set up product processes

HADI cycles, regular analytics, user research, prioritization

Strong product team

Trained PMs with clear areas of responsibility and mentoring system

Fast feature launches

Reducing time from idea to release by 2-3x through MVPs and experiments

Understanding of the market, trends and competitors, rapid adaptation to changes

How to build an effective product team in remote work conditions

Every company faces unique product challenges. Through 13+ years in startups, corporations, and my own ventures, I've learned that the best solutions come from creating psychological safety where teams can openly discuss what's not working. My focus now is building environments where honest conversations lead to breakthrough products.
