I love making complex things simple. Getting to the core. Cutting through noise to find what truly matters. As my teacher once said, “Half of solving a problem is formulating it correctly.” That principle shapes how I work and why I love what I do.
I began my career in IT as a Java developer, focused on clean, scalable code — but kept running into unclear requirements. I saw how misalignment between business and tech slowed everything down. So I became a Business Analyst to bridge that gap, learning to translate ideas into clear, structured specs.
That path led me into project management, where I took on more responsibility and earned my PMP. Along the way, I embraced Lean-Agile thinking, which reshaped how I approach collaboration, decision-making, and delivering value.
Today, as a Program Manager, I lead cross-functional teams from strategy to delivery — ensuring business goals and execution stay aligned, and helping teams do their best work together.

What drives me:
✅Clarity and purpose – I work best when the "why" is clear, and I stay focused on what brings real value.
✅Growth mindset – I push myself to keep learning, adapt fast, and turn feedback and failure into growth.
✅Integrity and empathy – I believe in doing the right thing, being transparent, and treating people with respect.
✅Collaboration – Great results come from great teamwork. I create space for others to contribute, speak up, and thrive.

I’m also someone who doesn’t give up easily. When I was a kid, I set a goal to learn how to ride a bike in one day. I fell a lot, scraped my knees — but by evening, I was riding. That same persistence, courage, and drive still guide me today.

📩 I will be happy to expand my network by connecting with fellow professionals and just anyone who is interested in my area of expertise. Please feel free to contact me here or at andrey.tsirukhin@gmail.com

Determinism in decision-making: the myth of the “rational choice”

We often believe our decisions are rational, following a straightforward path of data, analysis, and choice. However, the reality is more complex. Every decision is influenced by a deterministic system rather than pure, independent reasoning.

Key factors that shape our choices include:

- Emotions: stress, confidence, fear, and fatigue
- Memory: past successes and failures that distort risk perception
- Culture & beliefs: personal values, corporate norms, and social context
- Sensory input: how information is framed, timed, and delivered
- Reason & data: metrics, facts, and projections
- Lived experience: the entire journey that has led us to this point

While rational thinking is an important aspect, it is just one input in the decision-making process, not the sole driver.

This understanding is crucial for leaders. Better data alone cannot guarantee better decisions. Instead, leaders can:

- Design better decision contexts
- Reduce cognitive noise and overload
- Account for emotional and psychological states
- Recognize and manage biases rather than ignore them

Strong leadership is not about being “perfectly rational.” It’s about understanding the true determinants of our decisions and learning to navigate them effectively.

Which factor most often influences your decisions?

But here's the truth: No one gets entrepreneurs like other entrepreneurs. 

Every big breakthrough in my journey happened after connecting with people who've walked this same road, right here. 

The right network will push you, inspire you, and open doors you didn't know existed. 

If you're building, dreaming, or hustling against the odds, I want to connect. 

Let's trade stories, share lessons, and grow together.

What you see as a "sudden win" is usually years of unseen grind, failure, and relentless learning.

The truth? 

Every founder wants to quit when things get tough, but breakthroughs only happen when you push forward, not when you pause. 

If your journey feels impossible, it means you're solving a problem others are afraid to tackle. 

Success is built on the days you choose to persist, not the days that feel effortless. 

Building something real takes resilience.

But reality check: what you THINK your product is rarely matches what your customers actually experience.

Customers are the ultimate judges; they define your product by how they use it, talk about it, and value it in their lives. 

You're not building for yourself; you're building for them.

Wireless Engineer @ Huawei

Uber Has Officially Exited Tanzania. What Really Happened?

After nearly 10 years in Tanzania, Uber shut down its operations on January 30, 2026. No long press conference. No detailed explanation. Just a message to users saying “this chapter comes to an end.”

But chapters don’t end randomly.

Uber entered Tanzania in June 2016, launching in Dar es Salaam and introducing many of us to:

- App-based ride hailing
- Cashless payments
- Dynamic pricing

At the time, it felt revolutionary.

Fast forward to 2026, and the story looks very different.


🇹🇿 Tanzania Is Not an Easy Market

Uber didn’t just face competition.
It faced local reality.

In 2022, Uber suspended operations after new government regulations introduced:

- Fare caps
- Commission limits
- Stronger consumer protection

Uber returned in early 2023, but by then the market had changed.


🥊 Enter the Undisputed Champion: Bolt 

Let’s be honest  Uber didn’t lose to regulation alone.

It lost to Bolt.

In Tanzania, “request Bolt” is no longer a brand reference, it’s a household phrase for ride hailing. Bolt localized faster, priced smarter, and aligned better with both drivers and passengers.

Meanwhile, Uber struggled with:

- The unpopular TZS 3,000 ride cancellation fee
- Pricing that felt rigid to consumers
- A model that didn’t fully adapt to local cost dynamics

In a price-sensitive market, small frictions become big deal-breakers.


📉 A Bigger Lesson for Global Tech Companies

Uber’s exit sends a clear message:

"You don’t just launch in Tanzania. You adapt, localize, and negotiate your way into relevance."

Local competitors understand:

- How people earn
- How people pay
- How people complain
- How regulators think

And that knowledge compounds over time.

What This Means Going Forward

- Tanzania remains open for innovation, but not at any cost
- Regulation here is not anti-tech, it’s pro-balance
- Local and regional platforms are no longer “alternatives” they are default choices

Uber’s exit doesn’t mean ride hailing failed.
It means the market chose its winner.


💬 Was Uber doomed the moment Bolt became a verb in Tanzania?
Or could Uber have survived with deeper localization?

Let’s talk in the comments.

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣? 

The idea of instant fame is a myth. 

Success is built on relentless persistence, hidden failures, and unseen sacrifices. 

What looks like a sudden breakthrough is often years of quiet grind. 

If you're waiting for the perfect moment, you'll never start. 

Start now, stay consistent, and trust the process. 

Because true success isn't a flash in the pan; it's a long-term game. 

Don't be fooled into thinking shortcuts exist. The real secret? Keep showing up when no one's watching. Build your legacy brick by brick. The world rewards the patient.

Most entrepreneurs chase big ideas without truly understanding their customers' pain points. 

They believe innovation is about creating something new, but real innovation is about solving real problems. 

A visionary often overlooks the importance of actual customer validation. 

You can have a brilliant idea, but if it doesn't resonate with your audience, it's just noise. 

Customer focus isn't a step; it's the foundation of sustainable growth. 

Don't fall into the trap of building in isolation. 
Align your vision with genuine customer needs. 

That's how you build products that last, products that matter. 

Challenge yourself: are you crafting solutions for customers or with customers? 

The choice will determine whether you scale or plateau. 

Start listening, start iterating. 

Your customers hold the key to your future success. 

Are you willing to put their needs above your ego? Think about it.

Your customers shouldn't feel like they're being sold to. 

They should feel heard.

Most founders drown out customer voices because they're obsessed with closing deals, not opening relationships. 

Here's the real play: let your customers talk more than you. Let their frustrations educate your solutions. 

Most of your "sales techniques" are just ego in disguise. The best sales process doesn't feel like selling at all; it feels like trust-building. Stop pushing. Start listening.
