About

A smart mobility professional and enthusiast, I have background in both traditional and new, innovative mobility services, combining this with product management expertise. We’re currently building CITYA, the first on-demand transportation service & franchise provider in the CEE region. CITYA works with electric vehicle fleet operators and cities in a digital franchise model to provide a demand-responsive transportation (DRT) service to the end users that is convenient, sustainable and affordable. We strive for better social inclusion of people who live in the suburbs, for fewer cars, and for more sustainable cities across Europe - through smarter daily transportation.

  • Product Director at yachting°com
    Jan 2021 - Nov 2021 · 11 mos

    The mobility industry suffered during covid and I was asked to help kick off new products, which ended up as the crisis management and restructuring of yachting.com, so I embarked on this 1-year-long project, taking on the all things product. I built the product team, implemented ProductPrinciples, Design System and delivered the product roadmap. After that, with my team, we kicked off the first quick-fixes and launched new products like Yachting Insurance and Academy. We’ve put the product funnel in place to properly measure conversions on the site and implemented some UX/UI quick-fixes according to the priorities. One of the successes was launching a completely new homepage and introducing new tools and processes to collect feedback and increase deliverability between the Development and Product teams. This resulted in higher web conversion and became the foundation for scalable and automated content.

  • Senior Project Manager at TOP1 Taxi
    Feb 2018 - Dec 2018 · 11 mos

    When I dove into this project, it was initially an initiative to digitalize the dispatching, however, it turned out to be a complete and full-fledged restructuralization of the company. I have led this project from the very first day: established key metrics, delegated responsibility and ownership, re-distributed the human resources, and gained new market verticals, such as emergency transport of the medical materials & elderly, serviceability of the suburbs, and advertising & brand awareness. I re-organized the company structure, set the processes, led the product development, and eventually prepared the company to be handed over to the new management team.
