I lead the People function at Kodland — a multinational, VC-backed EdTech startup that has grown from a local project to a profitable business with distributed teams across the globe. I am responsible for building teams, processes, and systems that enable sustainable growth. Beyond my role at Kodland, I help tech companies develop and scale their People operations — from hiring and HR processes to organizational design and leadership development. I bring hands-on experience of navigating the challenges of scaling an international startup — from the first dozens of hires to hundreds of employees across multiple geographies. I work at the intersection of business and People: fundraising preparation, rapid growth, crisis management, international expansion, and building PeopleOps from scratch in fast-changing environments. Open to consulting and collaboration opportunities.
