Product Growth Lead at Storylane | Consultant | Growth Mentor | PLG Advocate

Howdy!
🌏 Lived across the world working remotely (currently in Austria)

I am working as a product growth manager and consultant, eager to help companies in their quest for growth. I eat, sleep, and breathe PLG (product-led growth), no joke, I dream about A/B testing in my sleep, and even caught myself exhaling buzzwords like "activation" and "retention." :))

When I'm not busy, I devote my energy to maintaining my physical fitness. Whether it's lifting heavy weights or running, I believe that a healthy body fuels a healthy mind. Additionally, I find joy in exploring diverse cuisines and cooking up a storm in the kitchen.

I strongly believe that everyone deserves equal opportunities, as talent is talent, regardless of the location, origin, or background.

P.S. I eat hummus with a large spoon.
