Sergey Vendin
Product strategist and hands-on practitioner — from business model to a working solution
From business model to working solution.
I help make sense of a complex business or product challenge, design the solution and take it through to a working digital product, automation system or prototype.
01
What I do
I work where product strategy meets hands-on delivery. I can join at the stage of a vague idea, help frame the product and the approach to developing it, and then take part in building the working solution.

From strategy to implementation
I do not separate product strategy from the practical ability to test it in a working solution. Depending on the task this can be a prototype, a web product, an internal system, an integration, process automation or a hardware and software solution. What matters to me is not only defining what should be done, but understanding how it can be built and validated in practice.
