Jane Kubryak

Career transition: finance and corporate strategy to product and venture. Jane began in corporate finance and strategy (Sodrugestvo, project finance roles), moved into consulting at Bain, then shifted into product discovery at VK before founding her own product-marketing consultancy; this background underpins her quantitative, strategy-first approach to product and early-stage diligence. techbullion+1

Operator-to-operator product focus and discovery practice. As founder of Discover with Jane and a former product discovery lead at VK, Jane helps early-stage founders translate research and user insight into MVPs, GTM plans and growth experiments—combining market research, customer interviews and analytics-driven hypothesis testing. discoverwithjane+1
