    Nail positioning for technical audiences

    I craft messaging that resonates with developers, SREs, and technical decision-makers — because generic "enterprise" copy doesn't work here.

    Launch products developers actually adopt

    From beta programs to GA launches, I build go-to-market motions that drive trial, activation, and word-of-mouth in developer communities.

    Build growth engines that compound

    I design and run experiments across your full funnel — acquisition, activation, retention, expansion — powered by data and AI automation.

    Daria is the best Product Marketing Manager I've had a chance to work with at JetBrains, and one of my all time best hires. She has that one super valuable trait that many lack: she always looks for the 'why' behind every problem she faces. She can bring a lot of value at a senior or C-level marketing or product position.
