About Sergei
Senior Fintech Strategy & iGaming Payments Consultant
Strategic leader with 10+ years of experience at the intersection of iGaming, Global Payments, and GTM Strategy. Most recently at Xsolla, I acted as a Payment Consultant for Tier-1 merchants, specializing in the "hard" side of commerce: complex pay-in funnels, APM localization (MEA, India, SEA), and embedded finance propositions.
What I bring to your project:
Strategic Proposition: Bridging Stanford-trained Product Management logic with Harvard Fintech insights to build scalable payment tools.
Market Expansion: Navigating regulatory/technical friction to unlock multi-million USD transactional growth in emerging markets.
Commercial Architecture: An "outside-in" perspective (Ex-CMO) that aligns technical rails with aggressive revenue goals.
Available for: Strategic Advisory, Payment Roadmap Design, and GTM Execution. Currently relocating to the Netherlands.
