Anna Kalinina

Strategic & data-driven Senior Product Manager with 8+ years of experience in FinTech, TravelTech, and high-scale marketplaces. I help companies grow GMV, launch new markets, and build products users truly love – combining strong discovery, clear prioritisation, and measurable business impact. Some examples of my results include: – Led product strategy for a global TravelTech marketplace with 100,000+ listings at SEARADAR, balancing supply & demand, improving conversion, and scaling infrastructure for international growth. – Drove GMV growth (30%+ YoY in key directions) by optimising funnel metrics, pricing logic, and retention mechanics in BNPL and lending products across Southeast Asia. – Conducted 500+ customer discovery interviews, turning insights into validated hypotheses, clear roadmaps, and high-impact experiments that improved activation and LTV. – Owned P&L and unit economics, aligning product decisions with revenue, margin, and ROI targets. Worked closely with marketing, analytics, engineering, and C-level stakeholders to ensure execution speed and clarity. – Successfully transferred product ownership across Asian regions, building structured documentation and empowering local teams for sustainable growth. Beyond execution, I care deeply about people and culture. I’ve mentored startup teams in an accelerator for 5+ years, helped founders shape product strategy, and host a podcast where I talk about product, growth, and building meaningful companies. I’m known for strong stakeholder management, calm decision-making in ambiguous environments, and the ability to connect product vision with day-to-day delivery. I thrive in complex ecosystems where marketplaces, fintech mechanics, and user psychology intersect. I get excited about opportunities where I can scale impactful digital products, work on international markets, and partner with ambitious teams that value ownership, speed, and customer obsession.
