Hi, I’m Aleksei.

I have 15+ years of experience in AI, Data & Analytics, working with engineering, product, and leadership teams across Europe, the US, and Asia. I’ve partnered with founders, CTOs, and senior leaders in complex product organizations, helping scale teams, improve execution, and navigate strategic challenges.

I work primarily with professionals who are at a crossroads in their career or leadership journey and need clarity, structure, and an experienced outside perspective to move forward.

⭐ Who I Typically Work With

Technical Program / Project Managers, Product Managers, and Engineering Managers

Senior ICs growing into senior or leadership roles

Professionals preparing for interviews or career transitions

Leaders who feel stuck or uncertain about their next step

⭐ What I Can Help With

Career strategy, positioning, and growth (IC → Senior → Lead / Manager or Chief of Staff–type roles)

Interview, CV and LinkedIn reviews with honest, detailed feedback

Product strategy, roadmaps, and prioritization, reporting

Executive communication, effective 1:1s, hiring, performance reviews and stakeholder alignment

Acting as a sounding board for complex leadership decisions

⭐ How I Work

My approach is practical, structured, and experience-based.

I don’t offer generic advice or motivational coaching. Instead, I help you:

clarify what actually matters in your situation,

break complexity into clear decisions,

define concrete next steps you can act on immediately.

You can expect clarity, structure, and actionable outcomes after each session.

⭐ Format & Availability

I work in a private 1:1 mentoring format and with a limited number of mentees to ensure depth and quality.

Bookings are handled externally to allow for flexible scheduling and tailored engagement.
