About Vitalii

Product Owner / Product Manager specialized in industrial digital solutions, Industrial AI, digital twins, and B2B operational optimization platforms.

I help industrial companies transform complex business problems into scalable software products, focused on performance and ROI.

An engineer by training, I work at the intersection of business, data, and technology: product framing, discovery, roadmap, backlog, functional requirements, engineering/data/UX coordination, and delivery management through to production.

I have managed the development of digital twin platforms and optimization solutions in demanding industrial environments, with a product portfolio of €2 million and efficiency gains of 40-50% on certain operational processes.

My playgrounds: energy, infrastructure, logistics, industrial operations, B2B platforms, data-driven solutions, and asset-heavy environments.

I am open to Product Owner / Product Manager roles in industrial tech, digital transformation, and optimization platforms.
