About

🏅Certified Executive Coach (ICF & BECI)

Hi! I am Vladimir. I have spent over 20 years in start-up and technology industries across fin-tech, wealth-tech and space-tech. I had founder and executive roles that exposed me to many meaningful experiences. I have gone through a lot of personal growth that helped me sort and format the knowledge so I can share it with you.

***Do you want to build a start-up? Here are the things I can coach you on:

- How to come up with the idea that will stick?
- How to create a pitch deck that will raise funds?
- How to make first hires?
- How to create traction and scale it?
- How to create a team contract that prevents founder conflicts?
- How to transition from a larger organization?

***Do you want to excel as a Technology Leader ? Here are the things I can mentor you on:

– Talk through skills that “Got you here, won’t get you there”
– What is it like at the top of organization and how executives make decisions?
– How to negotiate for a higher salary, broader role and responsibilities?
– What will get you more fulfillment and satisfaction from your current role?
– How to create a rock-solid short-term and long-term career plan?

I have advised 250+ individuals and 100+ companies. I am a regular mentor for Techstars & YC companies.

My clients have described me as an insightful, practical, emotionally intelligent, and a results-focused coach. I like to take mixed approach to mentoring where I mix a series of questions with details from my actual start-up and executive experience. This helps you develop your decisions skills further, than just me sharing my story.

Vladimir's an amazing listener and was able to provide valuable feedback and advice. I usually joined our meetings overwhelmed with decisions and left with clarity and action items. He even reached out with recommendations post meeting. I found what I was looking for and I'd highly recommend Vladimir for coaching services!
