Summary

Hi there, I am Dimitri. With 12 years of experience working with start-ups and SMEs across various roles in agility, product, and strategy; I partner with founders, leaders, and organizations to unlock their potential for growth. #mystory In 2010, I single-handedly launched Malaysia's first professional e-commerce platform. I had very little work experience at the time and absolutely no experience in startups, e-commerce, or fashion. Yet, I was able to successfully raise funds, hire a team, lead the development of a custom e-commerce platform from scratch, source products, and bring the company to break even in 2 years. I sold it shortly thereafter to a local Groupon clone. I am grateful for this experience as it was by far the most formative experience I ever had. But navigating such a highly complex and uncertain territory was hard.... It felt so lonely at times. When looking back, I really wish I had a sparring partner, to challenge me and mentor me in navigating those uncertain waters. Which is why I decided to dedicate the rest of my career to supporting founders, leaders, and organizations on their journey to success. Handpicked by the Silicon Valley Product Group (SVPG) to attend a unique Coach the Coaches training, I received first-hand knowledge from the partners on how the world's best and most innovative product companies build impactful products. #partnership I partner with you in one (or more) of the 3 following ways: - Founders and leaders - Leadership coaching In a thought-provoking partnership, I help you transform personally, evolve professionally, and lead authentically. - From start-up to scale-up and large organizations - Organizational consulting Based on the organization's needs, I design, organize, and moderate workshops that foster learning and collaboration to improve clarity and drive alignment. - Product Managers and Leaders - Product Mentoring Actionable advice and the best-in-class techniques, skills, and mindset to build impactful products by focusing on the right activities.
