Senior Product Manager
Cut spec-to-release cycle from 4 weeks to 10 days across 6 concurrent crypto products. 7+ years building and shipping FinTech and Web3 products end-to-end — onboarding, KYC, fiat gateways, crypto exchanges.
Currently Senior Product Manager at Chanity, a boutique product-engineering studio building FinTech and Web3 products for crypto exchanges, DeFi protocols, and fiat-gateway providers. I lead product across 6 concurrent client workstreams with a distributed team of 20.
What I ship and how:
→ Crypto-native products at scale: up to 500K MAU and $50M+ in monthly transaction volume. Designed and operationalized KYC, identity verification, and onboarding flows across multiple client crypto exchanges and fiat gateways.
→ Speed without chaos: cut spec-to-release cycle from 4 weeks to 10 days by standardizing PRDs, prioritization frameworks, and delivery rituals. Funnel impact across portfolio: onboarding conversion +25% (from 18% to 22.5% baseline), activation +20%, retention +15%.
→ AI-native PM operating model: LLM-powered workflows for PRD drafting, sprint summaries, and research synthesis cut documentation overhead by ~60%. AI-driven KPI monitoring pipelines compressed weekly reporting from 4 hours to under 30 minutes.
Earlier:
→ Senior PM at GOTBIT (2022-2024) — launched 20+ B2C, B2B2C, and SaaS products across marketplaces, DeFi, crypto exchanges, and fiat on-ramps. Delivered 2 white-label B2B solutions from zero. Led cross-functional teams of 12-15 and 100+ enterprise partner negotiations.
→ Product Operations at AliExpress (Russia and Spain markets, 2019-2022) — promoted twice in 3 years. Managed 40+ simultaneous projects with churn under 5%; grew portfolio gross profit by 190%; launched 120+ e-commerce projects.
What I'm looking for:
Senior PM or Product Operations roles in Crypto, FinTech, or regulated platforms — onboarding, KYC, payments, exchange or DeFi platform products. I work fast, deliver measurable outcomes, and bring an AI-native operating mindset to a PM team.
