Sahand Sorouri

I’m a Senior Product Manager with 6 years of end-to-end ownership across fintech, e-commerce, and logistics marketplaces in the MENA region and beyond. My sweet spot is turning messy, high-volume data into products that users love and businesses can scale.

• TopChange (crypto platform) – launched beginner-friendly trading flows that lifted revenue 50 % and cut onboarding drop-off by 35 %.
• SnappFood (Rocket Internet) – built and grew “QBAR,” a QR-order & pay product used by 3 K+ merchants; secured US$0.5 M seed funding and expanded to 15 cities.
• COVID grocery expansion – scaled same-day delivery to 500 K households, using AI-driven route optimization to trim logistics cost 15 %.

• Data-first: comfortable in SQL/Python, Mixpanel, GA4, and Amplitude to define North-Star and cohort KPIs.
• Rapid validation: wireframes in Figma, no-code prototypes in Bubble/N8N, and continuous discovery interviews.
• Lean delivery: write crisp PRDs, run dual-track Scrum, and deploy via CI/CD with feature flags.
• Growth mindset: drive A/B tests, pricing experiments, and retention loops; boosted MAU 25 %+ on multiple products.

LLMs / GenAI (prompt design, RAG), blockchain wallets, payments & KYC, marketplace network effects, OKR frameworks, and SaaS metrics. I can translate between engineers, designers, and execs—equally at ease discussing vector databases or customer JTBD.

I’ve led cross-functional pods of up to 20 (engineering, data science, design, marketing) across 7 time zones, fostering psychological safety while delivering 99.99 % uptime. Stakeholder management spans founders, board members, and external partners from AWS to payment gateways.

Distributed work is my default: I’ve collaborated with squads in Dubai, Berlin, Manila, and São Paulo using async rituals, clear documentation, and outcome-based planning. Hubstaff’s talent network fits my belief that great products are built on trust, autonomy, and measurable impact—not office hours.

If you’re scaling a B2B/B2C platform and need a hands-on PM who can find the signal, craft the vision, and execute relentlessly, let’s talk.
