Not just strategy decks or adjacent ownership: I've built, shipped and improved live products used by real customers across several markets.

Who I am

Technical depth, product judgement, commercial awareness.

I'm Alexander, a product manager who came up through engineering and later operated as CTO and CCO in regulated fintech. I've worked across platform architecture, onboarding, KYC, payments, pricing, growth and the roadmap behind it.

My strength is the overlap: technical fluency, regulated-market judgement and hands-on product delivery. I can work with engineers, compliance, operations and commercial teams to turn messy problems into shipped improvements.

Product, platform and commercial ownership

Regulated fintech

Built regulated fintech products, then helped scale the outcomes.

As CTO and later CCO, I worked across architecture, onboarding, payments, growth, pricing and the P&L. I led multi-market licensing expansion across several countries, brought multiple payments, banking and KYC partners online, and ran an AI-assisted onboarding redesign to cut friction.

End-to-end delivery of networks, servers and client systems, with full ownership of delivery and client management, the foundation the rest was built on.

Flagship build

From requirements to production systems.

This was not a product I was handed. As CTO, I led the build from early architecture through to production: onboarding, KYC, payments, FX, admin tooling and the AWS infrastructure behind it.

I then worked across the commercial side as CCO, using that product knowledge to improve growth, pricing, retention and unit economics after launch.

Same product, two perspectives: technical delivery and commercial outcomes.

Where I'm strongest

The areas I add the most edge.

Product strategy & roadmap

Discovery-led, multi-market prioritisation and clear bets, translating customer and regulatory insight into a focused roadmap.

API platforms & architecture

Platform thinking, third-party integrations and reusability, scalable capabilities across diverse markets.

Data, decisioning & pricing

Funnels, risk, pricing and the logic behind every decision, turning data into product outcomes.

Multi-market regulated delivery

Shipping across jurisdictions without breaking compliance, balancing local needs against global capacity.

AI-assisted workflow

AI-assisted product delivery.

I use Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to prototype internal tools, analyse product data, draft requirements, build automations and reduce repetitive operational work. The value is not the tools themselves, it's getting from unclear problem to usable product faster.

Research synthesis

Turn calls, notes and support themes into sharper opportunity areas.

Data investigation

Use exports, SQL and dashboards to find friction before writing tickets.

Prototype first

Test flows, automations and admin tools before asking engineers to commit.

Clearer specs

Move from fuzzy problems to requirements, acceptance criteria and trade-offs.

What I'm looking for

The next product role.

Hands-on product work where technical fluency, delivery discipline and regulated-market judgement matter. I am deepest in payments, onboarding, APIs, internal tools and platform workflows.
