PROFILE
Startup mentor and entrepreneur with 13+ years of hands-on experience in building and scaling B2B SaaS companies across Eastern and Western Europe.
I’ve gone through the entire startup lifecycle — from validating ideas and acquiring early users to fundraising and international market expansion.
I’ve pitched to investors, negotiated partnerships with telecom providers, and built operational infrastructure in France, Poland, and Kazakhstan.
As a mentor and public speaker, I work closely with early-stage founders to help them avoid common mistakes, structure their operations, and communicate their vision with clarity and confidence.
