#CV #CPO #PM #TechnicalLead

With over 20 years in software development and product leadership, including 17+ years as Director of R&D/CPO at Smartlabs, I bring deep technical expertise combined with a strong drive toward business strategy and growth planning. My track record includes:

• B2B/SaaS Business Growth - Scaled IPTV/OTT platform to 20+ telecom operators globally with millions of concurrent users, driving significant revenue growth
• Strategic Product Leadership - Led product roadmap development, pre-sales activities, and customer success initiatives, ensuring zero-downtime migrations and high client retention
• Technical & Team Excellence - Built and scaled engineering organization from 0 to 30+ developers across 4 departments, achieving exceptional retention (10+ years average tenure)
• Custom Development Management - Successfully delivered bespoke solutions for enterprise clients (telecom and banking sector) alongside core product development

One of my main advantages is that, having a strong technical background as a developer, I also possess solid business thinking. Combined with excellent communication skills, this enables me to better understand clients’ needs and requirements and effectively translate them into actionable tasks for the development team. As a result, I am able to increase process efficiency and reduce the time needed for implementation.
