Product leader · Founder · Coach
Hey, I'm Anna.I help product leaders figure out what to build, how to lead — and how to stay sane while everything keeps changing.
Drawing on my experience at big tech and as a founder, I advise companies on 0→1 AI products, support product hiring, train product teams and coach product leaders through ambitious career and leadership challenges. Have something else in mind? I’m always open to an interesting problem.

About
Who I am
For over 12 years, I've been building 0→1 AI products, identifying where AI can create real value, turning that opportunity into a clear strategy, and shaping the experience and operating model needed to make it work.
Today, I’m an AI Product Manager at Google, developing experimental products for scientists. Previously, I worked at Meta, leading a 100+ people department and building agentic AI enterprise systems, following earlier ML-focused product roles at Workplace, Intercom and Yandex. I’ve also built from zero as a founder: for example, I co-founded Meander, an AI venture-backed startup with $2.5M in funding and a 15-person team.
On a side, I created No Flame No Game, a community of more than 40,000 people, organised an AI hackathon for over 1,000 participants across five countries and spoke at TEDx, The Wall Street Journal’s Future of Work forum, World Summit AI and TechCrunch Disrupt.
