Aleksander in a few words
I’m a Product Strategist on a mission to help early-stage teams discover, define, and validate new product opportunities. Skilled at identifying and articulating customers' needs to build industry-leading products, mostly in the fintech & HR markets. Proven track record of delivering high-quality products in a timely & cost-efficient manner by advocating for user-centric product development.

I love to dig into customers' problems, translate them into opportunities, and organize the team around proven frameworks to ideate solutions to those problems. I strive to help early-stage product teams to build the right products = products that are both viable and usable to the end-user.
