Andrei Susu
Senior Product Leader for Complex Technology Businesses
I turn complex technologies into products people can understand, adopt, and scale.
I lead product strategy, recovery, and zero-to-one execution across AI, FinTech, digital assets, and enterprise software—helping teams turn difficult product questions into clear decisions, focused delivery, and measurable outcomes.

How I work
Business context first. Disciplined execution throughout.
Technology matters when it helps solve the right problem, supports a sound decision, and delivers a product people can understand and use.

Start with the problem and the decision that needs to be made.
02
Make complexity understandable without hiding uncertainty.
03
Keep strategy grounded in delivery and operating reality.
04
Use customer and system signals to improve what is released.
05
Treat customer and developer experience as part of product growth.
