Hello, this is Elena

I'm a tech marketing professional with a great passion for product-led growth strategies.

And food, History, and boxing too 🤓

My core competencies are data-driven growth marketing, content marketing, messaging and positioning, and strategic thinking. I have a proven track record of delivering results and exceeding goals across various channels and markets, as well as managing high-performing teams from corporates to startups.

  • Good at thinking outside the box and seeing the bigger picture

  • Enjoy discussions and exploring multiple angles of an idea

  • Anti-perfectionist: would rather develop an MVP, test, and iterate fast

  • Will get bored with routine and strict hierarchy
