About Smaranda

I help early-stage startups make sense of what they’ve built, and say it in a way that actually lands.

I bring 12+ years across B2C and B2B, from global corporates to zero-to-one, turning messy ideas into sharp positioning, messaging, and strategic direction.

I work in short, focused sprints with clear deliverables, bringing clarity that moves the needle across product, sales, and GTM.

If your product is real but your story is still catching up, let’s talk.

Also, I'm into meditation, health optimisation, biohacking, and seeking insights through movement, stillness, and the occasional change of scenery.
