With 10+ years of experience spanning Solutions Engineering, project management, and product development, Yana thrives helping customers solve complex problems by translating technology into business value.

Yana has helped SaaS companies and startups close some of their largest deals by delivering value-focused demos, guiding clients through strategic discovery sessions, and building strong relationships–from ICs to C-suite executives–across both client organizations and internally with the Product, Engineering and Leadership teams.

As a former Solutions Engineering Manager, Yana loves leading teams, scaling processes, and removing barriers to growth—while ensuring that both customers and teams feel supported and successful.
