Yan Grinshtein — CEO
I've been designing for two decades, which could be described as "a proven track record" or "delivering consistent results" on LinkedIn. I'm currently on a sabbatical from designing to build a company that can help other designers, product pros, and such, to be even more AMAZING at their jobs. In recent years, I've designed successful products, built amazing teams, and helped a few people along the way. In my past agency/freelancing life, I had the pleasure to work with some interesting companies, such as, but not limited to: TENE Capital, AMADEUS, Israel Natural Gas Lines, Taboola, Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer LLP, Volkswagen, Parcker Weichman Alanso LLP, BlackBerry, Ceiba Airlines, Fourtec Technologies, Tsvetnoy, Israeli Ministry of Tourism, Microsoft, Baskin Robbins, Sony BMG, and many others... Now, I’m on a mission to solve a real and burning problem of decision-making gridlocks, lack of access to holistic data and incorrect prioritization of work for design & product teams, alongside helping companies build better products.
