Where I drive revenue

Since 2020, I've worked at the intersection of sales, product, design and customer success — helping SaaS teams close deals, onboard clients, and grow accounts without the chaos.

30+ SaaS teams served

From early-stage to scale-up - across fintech, devtools, cybersec, and beyond.

$1.5M+ in closed deals

Scoped, negotiated, signed - without burning the relationship.

6 years in tech

Sales, product, and customer success - agency, product, remote.

How I move the needle

How I move the needle

Own the full lifecycle

I own the full customer lifecycle — from onboarding to renewal. I keep accounts healthy, spot expansion opportunities early, and make sure clients feel heard without spamming.

Product fluency

I've sat in product roadmap meetings, filed bug reports, and run demos. When customers escalate, I don't just relay — I troubleshoot. That saves time for everyone.

Close without burning bridges

Consultative selling of $1.5M+ in product, tech, and creative solutions. I know how to pitch, scope, and close – without making people feel like they've .

Communicate so things move

I write clear briefs, run sharp kickoffs, and give feedback that lands. Less back-and-forth, faster decisions, happier clients.

"Artem was our primary point of contact and owned the relationship end-to-end. He translated our goals into a clear plan and kept everything moving without us needing to chase. He's someone you trust to represent your team and drive results with customers."

Chance Heath

How I found my way in

How I found my way in

How I found my way in

Origins

Kerch, Ukraine. 1994. Born between two seas, one landline, and zero patience for being bored.


In 2001, a 56K dialup screamed its way into our house and into my life. Mom hated it - I'd occupy our phone for hours. I thought it felt magical.


An entire universe on the other end of a cable, and me, impatient to break into it.

Recall the sound?

Going places

As a teen: soldering robots, DC++ swaps, IRC friends I'd never meet, trading pirated game discs. It was clunky, slow, but now that I look back kind of amazing.


In 2009, the family moved to Rapid City, SD. First real job at 16, American high school vibes, skiing on weekends, collecting rocks.


Back to Kerch in 2014 - older, sharper, same instinct to poke at things until they made sense.

The turning point

Later… a maritime El. Eng. degree, 6 months at sea as a cadet. Turns out the ocean is best appreciated from land.

Sea taught me two things: tight communication keeps you alive, and rigid hierarchies kill good ideas.


Came home, went all-in. heartbeat in Odesa, Deepengine in Porto in-between AM, product, and design, which sounds like an identity crisis but mostly just means I care about the whole picture.


Still that curious kid with the modem. Back then I waited for the connection. Now I create them.
