Key Engagements

Three ways I've delivered results

Every engagement follows a pattern: understand the business, fix what's broken, build what's missing, leave it better than I found it.

#Scale

Scaled C2C marketplace across 7 countries

Owned core product for a C2C resale marketplace. Built systematic funnel optimization that dropped cancellation rates by double digits. Expanded to multi-market with localization, payments, delivery. Migrated 3 running markets to a new tech platform.

2→7 markets Team 5→35 170K+ listings target
#Build

Built 3 products from zero in <2 months each

Built end-to-end product delivery function. Booking Tool from scratch: 125K+ customers, 150K+ orders, 2,500 store users. Led eCommerce transition to global platform serving 11M visitors/month. Grew team from 2 to 14. Pivoted the core offer from Automotive expertise to Home&Living/DIY.

20% agency revenue 1.5M→3.3M EUR Core offer pivot
#Rescue

Turned around distressed enterprise projects

Hired as “firefighter PM” to fix scope creep, underestimated budgets, and operational panic. Introduced Technical Presale, reduced handover costs, and brought scope management practices that covered stakeholder requests within budget.

Engagement Models

How I work with clients

Typical starting points — not rigid. Need 5 days/week on a diagnostic or want to jump straight to embedded? I make it work.

🔍

Diagnostic Sprint

3–4 weeks

I map what exists, interview stakeholders, review processes, tools and team structure, identify what's broken, and deliver a prioritized roadmap aligned with your business strategy. You walk away with clarity and a plan.

Embedded Leadership

3–4 days/week · 3–12 months

I join as your product leader. Build, ship, hire, and set up repeatable delivery cycles — from discovery through development to delivery and feedback. I implement data-driven decision making and leave behind a team that runs on its own.

🎯

Strategic Retainer

4–8 hrs/week · Ongoing

Senior product sparring partner for founders and CPOs. Strategy alignment, roadmap reviews, and team coaching — without a full-time investment. The experienced voice in the room when you need it.
