Aleksei Berdnik

Hi, I’m Aleksei.

I’m a Chief of Staff and Technical Program Leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling engineering organizations across Europe, the US, and Asia. My work has spanned AI/Analytics platforms, global streaming products, and enterprise SaaS environments, where I partnered with CTOs and senior product leaders to drive strategic initiatives, build operating models, and develop high-performance teams.

Mentoring has been a core part of my career. I’ve supported founders, product managers, engineers, and technical program managers in navigating critical career transitions, stepping into leadership roles, scaling their teams, and developing the mindset required to grow with confidence. Many of my mentees have moved into senior positions, founded startups, secured global opportunities, and achieved significant professional and financial milestones.

⭐ How It Works

My approach is practical and results-driven

I combine systems thinking, real operational experience, and structured coaching methods to help you move faster, make better decisions, and unlock your long-term potential - whether you’re building your career or building a business.

I focus on clarity, structure, and action.

My goal is not only to answer questions - it’s to help you develop the tools and perspective to make strong decisions independently.

Topics range from tactical (how to run a roadmap session) to strategic (how to position yourself for a leadership role), and personal (how to scale your mindset to match your ambition).
