Elena Berendeeva — Product Manager
Hi! I'm Elena – a Product Manager at JetBrains working on the Matter by JetBrains product development. I spent over 10 years in product marketing before moving into product management, and that foundation shapes how I approach building products today. I think deeply about go-to-market from the earliest stages, which helps me build things that actually connect with users. I've launched 20+ products across different industries, and I'm drawn to the early stages – the 0-to-1 phase where you're figuring things out, validating assumptions, and bringing something new into the world. Right now, I'm leading Matter by JetBrains product development, working with my product team to embed continuous discovery practices into our work. Areas I focus on: 1. Building AI products from scratch, including prototyping and validation approaches 2. Go-to-market strategy for new products 3. Continuous product discovery and working through uncertainty in early-stage products I'm interested in connecting with other PMs working in AI, and I'm open to speaking at events or joining podcasts about product development, AI, or launching new products.
