About

Senior Operations Expert with global vision

I lead 5 specialized teams — Campaign Ops, User Growth, Paid Media, Learn & SEO, and Web2 Partnership — operating the full user lifecycle for 10M+ users at Bybit.

My career at Bybit has been defined by one principle: build systems that competitors are forced to copy. From the industry's first on-chain holding tasks (Binance followed 3 months later) to the largest trading competition in crypto history ($104B WSOT volume), every innovation we ship raises the bar for the entire industry.

Operations should feel like product. Every campaign is a feature. Every touchpoint drives measurable value. Every process gets AB tested, iterated, and scaled — or killed.

Philosophy

How I think

"Competitors copy us, and we are willing to see it. We want to be the pioneer — not the follower."

— The principle behind every campaign we ship

Simplify, Don't Add

500 campaigns cut to 100. Fewer, bigger, better. Quality × precision beats volume × spray.

Product-Led Operations

Every campaign should feel like a product feature. Productize, templatize, scale — or kill it.

AB Test Everything

No gut feelings. Every major decision through rigorous testing before scaling.

Global Framework, Local Execution

Build the engine at HQ, let regions customize. Centralized governance, decentralized execution.
