Vasily Starostenko Speaking
Vasily Starostenko speaks about the thing he has done his entire career: building products people actually want. He has taken the stage at MoneyLIVE — around 2021, when he was Head of Product at Revolut — at The Startup Conference as a Tesla Staff PM, and at IT Arena, where his talk Building Products for Maximum Impact later circulated widely as a shared deck. Different rooms, different audiences, one throughline: maximum impact comes from discipline, not luck.
Organizers book him to speak regularly on automation, product experimentation, understanding customer needs, and managing a product for maximum impact. His talks are aimed at the people who actually ship — founders, product managers, and engineering leaders who are tired of feature factories and vanity launches. The style is direct: real stories from the Revolut and Tesla years, the experiments that worked, and the ones that taught harder lessons.
He also shows up where the industry gathers. In October 2024 he attended ICON Summit 2024 in San Juan — two days on AI, digital payments, and economic development — posting the agenda and the pastries with equal enthusiasm. The circuit runs both ways: sometimes he is on stage, sometimes in the third row taking notes.
The heart of the talk is a simple three-part operating system. Understand: Avoid Feature Fetish by Starting with a Problem Statement. Experiment: Always Have a Hypothesis, But Don't Be Blinded by Science. Align: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. Each part opens with a story — most famously, A story about a product we called a success, but customers disagreed — and closes with a framework the audience can use the next morning. His MoneyLIVE biography captured the mission in his own words: understanding and exceeding customer expectations, what he calls Deliver WOW.
What audiences remember is the honesty. Vasily does not teach product management as a victory lap; he teaches it as a practice of being wrong faster and learning in public. That candor is why the IT Arena deck kept traveling long after the conference ended, and why teams that see him speak often follow up to bring the frameworks inside their own companies.
If you are organizing a conference, a team offsite, or a founder summit and want a speaker who has actually carried the decisions he talks about, reach out. Every talk is tailored to the audience — from the experimentation habits of a scaling fintech team to the problem-first discipline a startup needs before product-market fit. And if you want the full curriculum, it lives in his online courses too.
