About

Performance Marketing Leader with 9+ years of experience scaling global mobile titles at Netflix Games, Small Giant Games, and Playrix. I specialize in driving sustainable growth for high-budget mobile projects by bridging the gap between data-driven performance marketing and high-level business strategy. My expertise lies in building and optimizing full-cycle UA ecosystems that deliver measurable ROI in the post-IDFA landscape. What I bring to the table as a Lead/Head: Strategic Growth Management: Experience in managing multi-million dollar annual budgets across Tier-1 markets, focusing on long-term LTV and ROAS rather than just short-term installs. Operational Excellence: I don’t just run ads; I build processes. From setting up predictive modeling frameworks to integrating advanced privacy-centric strategies, I ensure the marketing stack is ahead of the curve. Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven track record of aligning UA, Creative, Product, and Data Science teams to work toward a unified North Star metric. Mentorship & Team Scaling: I am passionate about building high-performing teams, fostering a culture of rapid experimentation, and mentoring junior talent to become industry experts. Currently focused on driving growth for Small Giant Games and exploring ways to push the boundaries of performance marketing in the gaming industry.
