  • As Chief Technology Officer at iZinga Assist, I am responsible for defining and executing the company’s technical strategy, ensuring that our platform is scalable, secure, and aligned with both product vision and business goals. My role focuses on turning complex requirements into reliable systems that support growth, performance, and long-term maintainability.

I take full ownership of technical quality and technical debt management, balancing speed of delivery with sustainable engineering practices.

Taskavel

Chief Executive Officer

Jan 2022Present · 4 yrs 4 mos · Remote

  • As CEO of Taskavel, I am responsible for defining the company’s strategic direction, ensuring product-market fit, and building a sustainable SaaS business focused on productivity, wellness, and meaningful work outcomes. My role spans strategy, product leadership, team building, and financial oversight, with a strong emphasis on execution discipline and long-term value creation.
  • I lead the vision and roadmap of Taskavel, translating user needs and market insights into a clear product strategy. This includes prioritizing features based on real customer impact, validating assumptions through data and feedback, and maintaining a sharp focus on solving the right problems rather than shipping features for their own sake. While not involved in day-to-day implementation by default, I retain full ownership of product quality, direction, and outcomes.
  • On the organizational side, I design team structures, define responsibilities, and establish processes that enable autonomy, accountability, and speed. I work closely with team members to remove blockers, align efforts with company goals, and ensure clarity in decision-making. Hiring, culture, and performance standards are key parts of my responsibility.
  • I also oversee financial planning and operational sustainability, including budgeting, runway management, and investment decisions. My focus is on building leverage through systems and people, reducing dependency on individual roles, and preparing Taskavel to scale responsibly.
  • At its core, my role is to ensure that Taskavel grows with focus, resilience, and purpose, delivering real value to users while building a company that can operate effectively beyond any single person.
