Co-Founder & CPO @ Birlika Collective

About

Sixteen years of product design. For the last one, a company of my own. As Co-Founder and CPO of Birlika Collective I took Cardixx, our professional networking platform, from a blank page to the App Store and Google Play. The years before that run through fintech, SaaS, edtech and advertising. The last stop was MapX, a B2B SaaS platform for AI talent mapping built inside Savannah Group, a global executive search firm, where I spent three years designing the screens hiring teams use to find leaders. AI-native is literal here: my designs become working software in my hands. Venture OS, the platform our group runs on, went from sketch to daily use in nine weeks, designed and coded by me. Testing a product idea takes days now, and that changes what a roadmap can be.

What’s the hardest part of professional networking for you?

We built Cardixx around a problem we kept seeing: people go to events, coworking spaces and conferences surrounded by potential connections, but often leave without meeting the right people.

We are re curious about what makes networking difficult for you?

Is it finding the right person? Starting the conversation? Knowing who is open to connect? Or following up afterwards?

We are building Cardixx to make that whole journey easier, and I would love to hear how you experience it today.
