About Elena

Product leader with 7 years building and scaling products across B2B SaaS, EdTech, and AI. I work with early-stage startups and scaling teams on three things:

Product Strategy & Advisory— Help founders and product teams move from idea to validated product. I do discovery, competitive analysis, go-to-market planning, and growth strategy for product launches.

AI Product & Automation— Build AI-assisted workflows using Claude Code, Cursor, and n8n. Design LLM integrations, automate complex processes, and prototype new products fast without waiting for engineering resources.

ProductOps & Team Design— Scale product teams and processes. I design planning frameworks, backlog structures, discovery templates, and cross-functional workflows that work for companies moving from scrappy to structured.

Recent work:
- Built an AI-powered assessment platform for enterprise hiring (co-founder, still shipping)
- Designed marketplace automation for EdTech platform (reduced manual work by 70%)
- Led ProductOps transformation across 10+ engineering teams at Yandex
- Delivered 30% YoY B2B revenue growth through product strategy

I'm best for:Founders/CPOs who need strategic help, startups building AI products, and teams wanting to scale their product operations.

Languages:English (fluent), French (professional), Russian (native)

    We built a scalable and reliable AI solution to reduce talent risk. We’ve digitized the most accurate predictor of performance—the assessment center—and made it more precise, scalable, faster and cheaper.

    - Assessment centers are the gold standard for predicting real-world performance—but they’re also the most expensive and unscalable.
    - We use AI to simulate, score, and analyze real-world product scenarios, generating precise, role-specific insights.
    - Beyond hiring decisions, we provide detailed, actionable feedback that guides individual growth and development.
