Kate Smoliakova

Product Manager

I’m a Product Manager with 6+ years of turning ideas into products that captivate and deliver.

With a knack for research and user experience, I dive deep to understand what users need and drive solutions that stick. Skilled in communication and collaboration, I love rallying teams to build products across FoodTech, FinTech, EdTech, and beyond.

Startups are my playground, where I thrive on launching 0-to-1 products, solving challenges with creativity, and hitting every target.

Fueled by curiosity and a passion for innovation, I’m here to create products that don’t just work — they WOW!
