I am currently a junior product manager at Struktura . I am working on a russia email list product that helps parents keep an eye on their children online. I just got an offer and am moving to Kiev.


Before that, I was a brand manager at the agricultural startup Agroxy and a project manager at KYIV CAR EXPO, which organizes car exhibitions. I also worked in sales at the same time — I sold exhibition space to companies.


At a startup called Agroxy, I was doing what a product manager usually does. I enjoyed these responsibilities, so I decided to move into the product space full-time.
