I make creative mean something — and now I make it measurable.

17 years of brand craft at Ogilvy & Mather, Leo Burnett, and in-house for tech: positioning, naming, identity, go-to-market narrative. Co-founder of Kyiv Academy of Media Arts — Ukraine's leading creative institution, thousands of graduates. Three ventures built from zero.

Most recently at Promova, I built the creative performance system: ad-hoc ideas turned into a repeatable pipeline, AI wired into production, the craft bar raised across the team. The throughline of everything I do: creative from heroics to system. From inspiration-dependent to performance-engineered.

Currently pursuing an M.Sc. in AI. I'm not a growth hacker — I'm the person who makes your product mean something to people, and now I speak enough of your language to do it faster.

Experience
Apr — Aug 2026EdTech · Remote

Creative Performance Architect · Promova

  • Architected the creative performance engine: turned ad-hoc creative into a repeatable, measurable pipeline — hypothesis to variant to metric, every time. Less inspiration roulette, more compounding learning.
  • Wired AI into the production workflow — automating the grunt work so the team spent its hours on the bets that move ROMI, not on what a model does in thirty seconds.
  • Raised the team's craft bar: coaching, structured training, sharper briefs, harder feedback.
  • Built the communication architecture (why Promova → how it works → why try now → why stay) as a cross-functional partner to UA, Growth, Analytics, and Awareness.

Languages & Recognition

Ukrainian (native) · English (full professional) · Spanish (learning) — Order of Merit, III Degree, Ukraine

Most leaders in tech come from tech. I come from the other side — from understanding how people make decisions and how to build creative systems that scale. And I've now shipped that system inside a tech company, not just talked about it.
