I build technology organizations — then scale them into businesses that compound. Three times founder.

More

Three times 0→PMF→scale. At Care I took a supplement brand from zero to 18M PLN ARR with 5× YoY growth — building the tech stack, subscription model, and omnichannel presence across 28 EU markets from scratch. At Mindgram I scaled a mental wellbeing platform to 1M+ users across 80 countries, deploying AI that eliminated the equivalent of ~25 FTE per year in operational costs. At Zety and BOLD I grew an engineering and product org from 2 to 40+ people and delivered +2100% revenue growth on one product line. I've run product, engineering, and growth simultaneously — sometimes all three at once. What that gives me is rare: I understand what it takes to ship a product people keep using, build a team that delivers without chaos, and construct a business model with real unit economics underneath it. On AI specifically: I don't treat it as a feature or a demo. At Mindgram I led production-grade AI deployments across support automation, content operations, translations, and analytics — generating several hundred thousand EUR in annual savings. The benchmark I use is simple: does it reduce cost or generate revenue in production? If not, it's not done. What I focus on: → Product and engineering leadership tied directly to business outcomes → AI and automation that moves OPEX — not experiments, production systems → 0→1 builds: DTC, SaaS, B2B platforms, marketplaces → Scaling orgs from scrappy to high-velocity without losing delivery culture 20 years in tech. 150+ products shipped. 50+ teams built and led. I'm now moving into a senior technology leadership role — CTO, CPO, or VP Engineering/Product — in a scaleup or enterprise with real resources, an existing team, and something genuinely ambitious to build. Remote-first or hybrid, open to EU and US. If that's you — let's talk.
