— About
A marketing operator, not a slideware consultant.
I'm Vadim — a Chief Marketing Officer and growth strategist who has spent the last decade turning early traction into category leadership for fintech, edtech and SaaS companies.
I've led marketing for international brands, sat on growth committees, and shipped go-to-market playbooks that consistently beat plan. My north star: revenue you can defend with data, not vanity dashboards.
Currently based in Barcelona, working remotely with founders and executive teams across Europe and the Americas.

— Testimonials
What founders say
"
Vadim is the rare CMO who is equally fluent in spreadsheets and storytelling. He moved every needle that mattered.
"
He took our growth from a guessing game to a discipline. We are still running the playbook he built.
"
Strategic, sharp, and refreshingly honest. The kind of operator boards trust.
All testimonials are real. Names withheld to protect the very busy.
— Why Spain
Why Barcelona — and why now.
Spain is where I want to build the next decade of my career. Barcelona is one of Europe's most international product and tech hubs — and the natural base for the kind of cross-border work I do.
From here I continue to operate with US, EU and LATAM clients as a remote executive — paying taxes in Spain, contributing to the local ecosystem, and mentoring local founders whenever I can.
(And no, it's not just the jamón. Though it doesn't hurt.)
