About

From writing code to redesigning how product teams work

I started as a software engineer. My first product job was at SpotYet, a startup I co-founded, where we took two SaaS products from zero to real customers. I wrote the matching algorithm behind both, and it doubled as my Master's thesis.

Then nearly five years at Amazon, running programs across nine European marketplaces. That's where I learned how a process change plays out at scale. One mechanism I launched cut 9 million customer contacts a year.

Since 2023 I've been co-founder of Product Circle, formerly Product Weekend, where we run small events for product builders and product leaders in 16 countries. At GaiaLogic I'm building Gaia Decision Intelligence from its first version. I work in English, Romanian and Italian.

Expertise

Where I can help

  1. AI-native product operating models

    How a product team plans, builds and measures, redesigned with AI and automation at every stage.

    At Carrefour Romania I worked inside the Mobile App team for five months. Lead time per feature went from 12 weeks to 6.

  2. AI & automation for product managers

    Workshops, online or in person, on using AI and automation in everyday product work: discovery, delivery and the operations around them.

    Delivered at Swisscom, Flutter International and Carrefour Romania.

  3. Building products from 0 to 1, then scaling them

    From a blank page to first customers, and from a process that works in one place to one that holds across countries.

    SpotYet, Amazon, and Gaia Decision Intelligence today.
