about startup strategy, Growth, AI and Product Innovation


I'm Dmytro Shestakov, an innovator, product and business strategist, entrepreneur, Partner at ReviewerCredits.com, Leadership Scholar and Executive MBA student at London Business School

AI and data-driven Innovation for Startup growth and Scaleup

Starting my career in finance and investments, and backing my skills with quant financial, data and business analytics, I’ve pivoted and gained vast experience in tech innovation and venture industries from founding and developing deep tech startups to leading digital transformation and managing corporate innovation at the global manufacturing enterprise.
Working through product management, execution and leadership in industry and tech startups, I’ve gained unique experience and knowledge of startup strategy, growth, analytics, marketing and commercialization, as well as built strong knowledge of AI, cybersecurity, and Big-Data technologies.
