NICK SAPEROV

I executed a full audit of an SMB's MarTech and SEO, revealing critical inefficiencies. I also designed a new digital strategy, including a website overhaul and system integrations (Zapier, Hubspot), to streamline operations and enhance AI search visibility by over 50%.

Achieved rapid time-to-market by launching a fully functional MVP in just one week, made possible by repurposing a technical framework and directing a proven remote team. In my role as Product Owner, I guided the complete product vision and content strategy. This lean approach to development allowed for immediate user acquisition, and I drove growth by scaling a Telegram community from 10 to 300+ subscribers, which led directly to the successful monetization of the platform.

I guided the end-to-end product strategy and execution, leading full-cycle development of the web portal while simultaneously driving business development to expand market presence. I secured financial viability and growth through a multi-faceted approach that included developing diverse monetization strategies and executing a high-impact SEO campaign, which captured over 5,000 monthly organic visitors and top-5 Google rankings for 15+ keywords.

As co-founder, I led a cross-functional remote team of 5 (developers, design, marketing) and set the product vision and strategic roadmap for a niche MOOC platform, reporting directly to the board. I managed the engineering team using an Agile framework (Jira, Slack, Zoom), and through data-driven product management—including leveraging user analytics and conducting A/B tests—I drove platform growth from 0 to over 3000 registered users and increased key conversion rates by 25%.

I architected a unique blockchain solution for ThePower project by embedding principles of mechanism design and auction theory directly into its core design. Working with a distributed team in Moscow, I leveraged expertise in theoretical economics to develop innovative, game-theory-based solutions for the platform.

After identifying and analyzing a unique gap in the market for stylish overshoes, I founded and architected the entire Shoescondom.ru venture. This included developing the full e-commerce platform, building the brand identity, and executing a dominant SEO strategy. This foundation was amplified by securing key partnerships with major brands like Swims and Crocs, cementing the store's position as the definitive market leader in its niche.

Leveraging a foundation in institutional finance across firms like Renaissance Capital and Aton, I acted as an intrapreneur on the Institutional Desk. By pioneering novel engagement strategies and forging relationships with key decision-makers in venture capital and tech, I successfully connected the firm's institutional clients with the technology ecosystem, boosting their access to venture-backed opportunities by an impressive 200%.
