My consultancy work is broadly categorized into two key divisions:
1. Strategy Consulting - conducting comprehensive market research to identify new business opportunities, defining a business concept, strategic positioning, target audience, and creating comprehensive product roadmaps that align with strategic goals.
2. Product Management - executing product roadmap by translating it into precise specifications, developing wireframes and prototypes, and overseeing product delivery to guarantee efficient and successful project outcomes.
My past clients include venture-building companies, PropTech and FinTech startups, traditional real estate companies, global industrial enterprises (Mosca Group), and governmental agencies (Business Finland).
I'm open to learning about your needs and finding ways where I can provide immediate value.
