I am founder and CEO of Evolve Product Development company with 10 years of experience in business; specialised in project management, business development, financial planning and business strategy for product design companies and innovative hardware startup projects.
From early student days at Faculty of Graphic Arts I was fascinated with business and finance. In addition to design studies I attended courses at Faculty of Economics and Business, that covered topics from financial management to business development and marketing.
Prior to founding my own company I was working for several financial institutions. Also, I had an opportunity to run a small private high-tech company for several years. Those opportunities gave me invaluable experience in finance, management and business planning.
Founding Evolve, a product development company, was a dream come true. I managed to blend my two biggest passions - design and creativity with numbers.
Designer background allowed me to understand the context of a product design and development company where I can successfully apply my knowledge in business and finance.
I have recently joined a startup company Ebloo Inc. as a chief financial and operating officer, where we are creating a recharging brand.
