Digital Vocabulary – 20th Annual Webby Awards Official Honoree

Self-funded and produced an award-winning educational project to empower people to understand their digital life and be self-aware when navigating modern media and technology. The project was called "Digital Vocabulary," and it studied the ongoing relationship between modern humans and digital media and technology. The idea behind starting this project was simple: our vocabulary determines our thinking, and our thinking determines our actions and everyday rituals.

The project provided thought-provoking content presenting new words, phrases, concepts, behavioral patterns, and simple ground rules that helped people build a bigger picture of the modern digital landscape and our behavior. The long read delved into questions about why we are constantly pulled to the Internet and how technology is changing our social life and humanity itself.

To answer these questions, we researched how the internet and gadgets shape our behavior and define modern humanity. We studied daily internet and gadget usage experiences and researched ordinary users, artists, developers, designers, and even monks. Furthermore, we analyzed and processed technology research materials and thoughts from media philosophers

Received recognition:

– Official Honoree in The 20th Annual Webby Awards in Activism Category (April 2016)
– The FWA Public Shortlist (October 2015)
– AWWWARDS Nominee (October 2015)
– CSS Design Awards Nominee (October 2015)

Author & Creative Producer

Consultant. Member, International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences. Amsterdam Class 11 Alumnus, THNK School of Creative Leadership. Ex Omnicom, Wargaming. Distance Runner, 3800 km in 2022.

My professional purpose is to help organizations clearly define where to play and how to win to achieve their business growth objectives.

I have 15 years of hands-on experience working in global advertising agency networks (Omnicom Group: BrandScience, OMD, BBDO, Proximity), industry-leading technology companies (Wargaming, Yango Group, EPAM Systems), and with fastest-growing B2B start-ups (Whatagraph).

My expertise spans brand marketing, partnerships, customer experience, product management, analytics, strategy, and operations. This cross-functional background gives me a comprehensive understanding of business, enabling me to help companies organize for the next wave of growth and transformation.

Being an entrepreneur at heart, I've built new cross-functional teams from scratch, developed new capabilities, and integrated new ways of working into existing business processes. I’ve led organizational design efforts, directed recruitment, leadership development initiatives, and acted as a player-coach, working with teams to cultivate a high-performing culture and deliver the best work. 

I love numbers and facts, but I also understand the power of creativity and stories that multiply results. I prioritize growth over the status quo and enjoy working in multicultural cross-functional environments at scale.

During my time living in London, Moscow, Nicosia, and Amsterdam, I’ve been privileged to collaborate with top talent from diverse cultural backgrounds on strategic initiatives across multiple sectors: CPG, Retail, Telecom, Fintech, Healthcare, Entertainment and Sports, Education, GAAS/F2P Video Games, ML/AI, Digital Media, Streaming Services, Marketplaces, and B2B SaaS.

My work has been recognized with industry awards, including FWA, AWWWARDS, Webby Awards, Clio Awards, WARC Effectiveness Awards, and Effie Awards.

My core strengths (CliftonStrengths) are Strategic, Activator, Relator, Connectedness, and Responsibility. 

I often act as an educator, keynote speaker, and jury member at global award shows (Webby Awards, WARC Awards) and conferences (IIEX - Insight Innovation Exchange, ESOMAR, Digital Dimensions, International Creativity Festivals). I'm often invited to design and facilitate workshops and sprints at in-company planning events. 

Since 2021, I've finished over ten marathons, including those in Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Athens, Istanbul, and Chicago. These endurance milestones remind me of the importance of having a vision, setting clear objectives, following a process, putting in the work, embracing failures, learning, and improving.
