Hi FRCTNL friends!
I'm Igor, a fractional product manager and strategic AI partner with 11+ years of experience building and scaling AI-powered software platforms at Amazon and high-growth startups.
Today, I help B2B SaaS startups (Seed to Series B) build and launch AI products. I focus on customer-centric discovery, identifying high-impact features, improving team productivity, and implementing practical AI solutions that deliver measurable business outcomes.
Throughout my career, I've consistently worked at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and business value creation – from revolutionizing agriculture with advanced computer vision at Blue River (acquired by Deere & Co.) to combating ransomware with smarter anomaly detection at Open Raven (acquired by Formstack).
What distinguishes my approach is my focus on technology coupled with a deep understanding that tech only creates value when centered around human needs: making customers successful, crafting delightful user experiences, or communicating complex concepts through impactful storytelling.
I’m currently seeking:
- Connections with founders looking to leverage or build with AI
- Fractional PM roles or strategic AI consulting projects
- Opportunities to give back to the fractional community – I offer free AI strategy sessions for FRCTNL members and share weekly practical insights on building & scaling AI products through my Boost&Byte newsletter.
