Summary

Serial founder with product and marketing instincts: Artem co‑founded Curious Muse (arts/education content) and earlier consumer app projects (Ól App), and appears frequently as a founder/creator in press and profiles. He blends content/product sensibilities (YouTube/social content) with formal company setup (director filings in the UK). gov+2
Experienced GTM and enterprise sales leader from Google: multiple public profiles and social bios list a progression through Google sales roles (Online Media Associate → Key Account Manager → Team Lead → Regional Account Executive (EMEA) → Global Account Executive), showing strengths in large-account GTM, cross‑regional sales, and enterprise relationships. clay+2
Startup mentor, advisor and short-term operator: Artem has a history of advising and mentoring founders (Google for Startups, Mentor Move) and taking short-term operator roles (fractional CMO at SalesLens). This indicates comfort switching between strategic advisory and hands‑on GTM execution. nitter+1
Transitioning to founder-CEO in AI: public stealth-startup coverage and a recent UK director appointment (Tellis Labs Ltd) show he moved from corporate sales to founding/leading an AI startup focused on e‑commerce / DTC shopping experiences in 2025. gov+1
