Hi, I'm Kirill. Currently on sabbatical and in exploration mode.
Previously, I was a principal product manager at Delivery Hero, where I
shipped growth features that drove millions in revenue. In the past I also
ran a mobile marketing agency, took part in VC accelerator, drove GTM at
early-stage startups & invested in renewable energy.
Occasionally, I write about my life experiences and digital products as
well as support founders of early-stage startups with growth, product and
hiring. If you are building cool stuff, don't hesitate to reach out!
In my free time I weightlift, play tennis, consume scif-fi and travel with
my wife. DMs are always open, so as coffee chats.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. — Frank Herbert, Dune
The litany encourages facing fear, allowing it to pass over and through oneself, and then using the inner eye to observe its path. This process aims to break free from the destructive power of fear and regain control.
An idea is not worth pursuing if too many people are talking about it: “The big thing is if too many people are talking about it then you might think you’re so clever and you have your own take on it and whatever but it’s you’re probably just being influenced by other people.”
