About
Product Manager: from Support to scalable IT solutions
From more 100 daily support requests to intelligent AI solutions: Product Manager who transforms customer problems into successful digital products. Launched 20+ Chatbots/Voicebots from concept to go-live, eliminating 20% of support volume – having worked 3 years in helpdesk myself, I understand user needs better than users themselves. My Sweet Spot: Turning business requirements into product visions. Prioritize backlogs by impact, lead cross-functional teams through complex launches, and always ask: "What problem are we really solving for the user?" Track Record: Mobile & Web Banking Features, Self-Service Product Expansion, led 15+ team members. Speak fluent "User", "Business", and enough "Developer" to ask the right questions. Currently: Building AI-powered product solutions. Seeking: Product Owner/Manager role where user impact is measurable.
