In my 6+ years of experience, I've helped e-commerce brands become more data-driven and better manage their finances. Through all my projects, similar patterns emerged. Those patterns led to the birth of the "Optimizator" framework. For simplicity, it can be reduced to 5 main questions (in order): 1. Do you trust your numbers? 2. Do you understand your numbers? 3. Do you test your numbers? 4. Do you action your numbers? 5. Do you monitor your numbers? If you said "No" to any of those questions or are unsure how to answer them properly, I can help. Here are a few ways I can help: 1. Fractional CFO 2. Consulting 3. Coaching 1:1 If interested, DM me. --- More about me: Born in Ukraine Raised in Russia ⚽️Won a regional pro football competition at 15 with school mates 🇨🇦Immigrated to Canada at 17 📚Learned English from 0 🚌Went to a public school for immigrants ✖️Killed all math courses (98% average) 🏫Got into a top Canadian business school 🎓Graduated with finance and accounting major 🏦Tried corporate banking - left because I didn't like the lifestyle and politics 🛒Switched to e-commerce 🪂Drove 8 hours to Chicago to skydive ✈️Went on a hyper trip to Europe with my friend: 1 day per city (Amsterdam, Paris, Monaco, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon) 🦠Left a stable and comfortable life in Canada to travel South East Asia with a Russian girl right before the pandemic lockdown - Hopped on the last plane (Boeing) among 6 other people 😷Got stuck in Thailand for 6 months 📖Wrote a Sci-fi mystery thriller as a side hobby 🍷Explored open countries for 1.5 years (UAE, Georgia, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Turkey) 💍Married the Russian girl in Russia (took a cab to another city) 🌅Returned to Thailand and settled down 🎤Went solopreneur in February 2023 My purpose is to help founders gain peace of mind about their finances and live life on their own terms, financially free.
