Neuroscientist Turned Career & Biz Advisor, Helping Individuals & Teams Navigate, Build Value & Subvert All Expectations

Profile Summary

I am a Neuroscientist by Education. In 2019, I developed Ontology of Value®, an R&D and Education company helping professionals with growth mindset in self-navigating in the job market and assisting businesses by building synergistic, happy teams. I authored books "What Is out There For Me? The Landscape of Post-PhD Career Tracks" and "How To Self-Navigate in the Job Market and Shine in the Job Interviews." I write two blogs focused on the job market, culture, self- and business development. I also offer consultancy to startups, institutions, and VC firms as a Business Advisor and/or Research Consultant. I'm skilled at Business Intelligence. I specialize in optimizing human resources using AI & ML tools and building synergistic teams. I am also skilled at detecting scam, overvalued & unrealistic projects, suboptimal teams, and conceptual bottlenecks. I can save your business millions and spare your team years of work! MY PHILOSOPHY: I believe in the compatibility of science and business. I use my knowledge in Neuroscience to better understand human resources and the evolution of the job market, and to develop new training programs. As summary, I am a "full-stack" Career & Business Advisor. With a PhD in Computational Neuroscience, I use my analytical mind and knowledge about the brain and psychology combined with empathy to understand my customers, build innovative tools for self-navigating in the market, and solve complex business cases. I work at flat hourly rates, or, exceptionally, for shares in the project.
