Background

About Ivan Belomorski

A strong passion for Great Products & Happy Customers - fueled by functional yet beautiful design, efficient and effective processes, 360 customer journey view and a lot of analytics. This has to be built on great teams in a happy & positive environment. My career began in the Software Product management domain. I spent some brief time as a developer for Android but quickly switched to Product Management that better fit with my character and diverse educational background. I spent several years in service companies working for a broad range of products, companies and different setups - from B2C consumer products, B2B platforms, internal platforms for process automation and more. That experience built a 360 overview of Product Development and gave me a lot of tools, team structures, customer experience but ultimately reviewed a passion for building great products that really solve problems and add value to its users. Throughout the years I had the opportunity to start a few small businesses ranging from production of smart leather bags to B2C artisan product marketplace. This helped me build experience in supporting a business end-to-end, crafting strategic visions for growth, carrying the responsibility of owning a business and build some basic understanding of logistics, marketing and more. Finally throughout the last 5 years of my life I invested into building Colibra - A very dynamic startup that went through many transformations, including COVID-19. We built a very innovative insurance product pre pandemic for flight delays that skyrocketed in growth only to get completely killed in Feb 2020. Our team saw this as an opportunity to innovate once again and build a service where users can book tickets for flights only to pay them if OKAY - after their flight. If the flight is delayed 3+ hours the user flies for free. If the flight gets cancelled they simply don't pay. Within this domain as a COO I was lucky enough to build and manage a great team of professionals in different domains - Development (iOS, Android, Web & strong backend), Insurance product data science, Legal(debt collection), Customer support, Marketing and Accounting. What a transformative experience!
