Leadership Philosophy
Building high-performing teams through empowerment, coaching, mentorship, and measurable outcomes
Empower Through Structure and Autonomy
I believe that clarity and autonomy are not opposites — they amplify each other. By creating clear frameworks (e.g., Feature Responsible, Technical Responsible, Genie RBA), I empower engineers to own delivery end-to-end while removing micromanagement.
Structure creates freedom.
Lead with Data, Learn with Reflection
Effective leadership is both analytical and introspective. I rely on data — delivery metrics, team feedback, and measurable outcomes — but balance it with reflective learning practices like retrospectives and issue logs.
Every iteration is an opportunity to learn, not just to deliver.
Grow People Before Processes
High-performing teams come from growing individuals first. I focus on personalized development (using GROW and SCARF models), helping engineers overcome imposter syndrome, build confidence, and evolve into leaders.
When people grow, delivery excellence follows naturally.
Build Resilience Through Continuous Improvement
Sustainable success depends on adaptability. I cultivate a culture where feedback loops, automation (RBA), and post-mortems are part of daily practice — making teams resilient, self-correcting, and ready for change rather than reactive to it.
Continuous improvement builds lasting resilience.
What Colleagues Say
Artem leads with clarity and data. He ensures his teams are not just aligned on what needs to be done, but also why it matters. He has an exceptional ability to break down complex tasks, explain technical concepts clearly, and keep everyone focused on impact. What sets Artem apart is his eagerness to learn and adopt. He's also a remarkable people leader with direct communication, and what truly impressed me is how open he is to feedback and how fast he acts on it.
Mihai Popescu-Anghel
Lead IT Project Manager
Worked together 6 yearsFrom an engineer's perspective, Artem consistently stood out as a manager who combined clear strategic vision with strong technical grounding. He created an environment where engineering decisions were well-aligned with business goals while still leaving space for individual ownership and innovation. What I appreciated most was his ability to mentor across levels—from developers to engineering managers—and to drive organizational improvements that had tangible positive impact on day-to-day engineering work.
Ilya Pokamestov
Solution Architect | Technical Lead
Reported directly to ArtemArtem is a unique profile with his deep knowledge of software development, engineering management, architecture and discipline. He's passionate about deliveries, bringing new ideas on board and improving procedures and systems. I like that he's raising red flags on time before a problem turns to crisis. He protective about his team and has very close and positive communication with them. Artem is always high motivated, result oriented, continuously improving leader.
