Team
Hello there,
My name is Anna, and I'm a product builder and educator. I run the FutureVersity project to help people gain the knowledge to create products, solve problems and get more things done through modern digital capabilities.
Before starting FutureVersity, I shared my expertise and knowledge with only a limited number of people - my co-workers and mentees. I helped them learn and upgrade their digital skills, start new careers as product managers in tech startups, and succeed in their roles.
With the FutureVersity project, I'd like to scale and productize my experience and the experiences of other experts and industry practitioners to help many, many more people. Today's digital world is full of opportunities, and there are countless career paths and skills that you may want to learn from us to grow and thrive - product management, UX design, no code development, growth strategy, technopreneurship - you name it.
Join our tribe and start the journey today!
My Background
I started my product management journey more than fifteen years ago without even knowing what this role is all about. Soon after graduation from the university, I decided to take a shot in the booming and dynamic consulting industry. So I started implementing the Enterprise Resource Planning system by SAP for major oil & gas giants. I was inspired by being a consultant and had a chance to work with such well-known firms as KPMG, BearingPoint, Accenture, Ernst&Young, and McKinsey.
After several years of SAP implementation and many successful projects, I was invited to my first international project in Switzerland. I was in charge of solving the problem of the complexity of tax calculation for trades among EU countries. Back then, there were no out-of-the-box solutions that could solve the problem, so I ended up developing a product from scratch, together with a team of engineers and business experts. It was the first time I realized how powerful and fulfilling it is to innovate, solve complex problems, and create solutions from scratch. Eventually, I discovered a dedicated role for this in the tech industry - a product manager role.
The transition to Product Management opened new doors for me, and I had a chance to build products for various industries - logistics, commodity trading, finance, AI in natural language processing, and for different markets - from Europe to Asia.
Before starting FutureVersity, I was a Product Director of a series B AI startup based in Singapore, where I relocated five years back to do an MBA program. In my role, I built the product function from scratch and launched an alpha version of the no-code platform as a service to build AI solutions with minimum cost and by non-tech people.
Welcome to the FutureVersity!
