I’m a freelance researcher focused on market, competitor, product, and industry analysis. What I enjoy most is taking complex information and turning it into practical insights that support smarter business decisions. My approach is structured but flexible, I adapt it depending on the project.

Here’s what my work usually covers: - Consumer insight: analyzing online discussions and reviews to understand real questions, needs, and frustrations - Trend discovery: identifying shifts in demand, audience behavior, and emerging topics across markets - Competitor & product benchmarking: comparing offers, positioning, and strategies to highlight opportunities and risks - Evidence-based validation: making sure insights are backed by solid data, research, or trusted sources - Qualitative analysis: pulling themes and patterns from interviews, surveys, or transcripts Clear deliverables: structured reports or slide decks, adapted to the client’s preferences 📌 If you’re looking for research that’s clear, structured, and directly useful for decision-making, I’d be glad to help.

I help companies turn messy data into board-ready strategy — and turn strategy into something measurable. Over 10+ years I've worked at the intersection of analytics and decision-making for companies including Huawei, Upwork, and AU10TIX, plus independent consulting work for TEMU and Stellantis. I've built BI functions from zero ahead of a Series B raise, architected an LLM-powered customer retention program that became an org-wide standard, and run GTM strategy for Huawei's European HQ across 10,000+ retail points. What I can help with: Dashboards & KPI frameworks — Looker, Power BI, Tableau. I build the "single source of truth" your team actually trusts and uses, usually live within 1-2 weeks. GTM & market-entry strategy — forecasting models, competitive intelligence, pricing strategy. This is where I spend most of my career: translating market data into a plan your sales and product teams can execute against. AI-driven strategy — LLM/NLP-powered customer intelligence, sentiment-to-revenue modeling, and prompt-engineered workflows that turn unstructured data into forecastable risk and opportunity. Fractional strategic advisory — for founders and leadership teams who need a sparring partner who's actually built these systems before. I enjoy dynamic environment, write clearly , and like to structure precisely. Prefer over-communication over misalignment. Native English and Bulgarian, B2 Spanish, HSK3 Mandarin, and an MBA from Shanghai Jiao Tong University — useful if your strategy touches European or Chinese markets. If that sounds like the kind of thinking you need, I'd welcome to discuss specifics.
