Senior CRM Marketer

StuDocu · Netherlands · Full-time
July 2022 – July 2023 · 1 year

As StuDocu’s first full-time CRM hire, I initiated a comprehensive system audit. New vision, approaches to optimization, guides, and technical inventions resulted in a strategic CRM roadmap that now serves as the company’s guiding blueprint for lifecycle marketing.

Performance Boost: By meticulously optimizing pivotal lead-to-conversion CRM flows, we achieved amazing results:

  • 27% uptick in content-loop efficiency;

  • 12% rise in user-loop efficiency;

  • 19% growth in average subscription duration;

  • A remarkable 34% average increase in primary CRM funnel KPIs through consistent A/B testing and micro-segmentation strategies.

User-Centric Innovations: Leveraging our CRM, we have redefined the user journey, addressing a multitude of product challenges head-on. While the team implemented numerous ingenious solutions, one I'm particularly proud of is my AI-project: by integrating the GPT-4, 
we initiated a new age of hyper-personalized communications, making user interactions feel more bespoke, pertinent, and captivating.

Volunteer Initiatives: In the face of educational disruptions due to the war in Ukraine, I developed a GPT-based chatbot using Corezoid, API, and JavaScript, and made it available on Telegram. This chatbot was specifically designed to assist Ukrainian school students, including my nephews, ensuring their learning continued seamlessly even when classes were canceled due to bombings.

Based in Amsterdam, StuDocu is an EdTech leader supporting over 20 million students globally with premier study materials uploaded by other students. During its rapid growth, I spearheaded the global CRM strategy to unlock the potential of StuDocu's vast user base. In collaboration with an incredibly talented team, we introduced MarTech solutions that boosted user experience and uplifted revenue. Here's a snapshot:

Career Overview

Foundational years: My career in marketing technology began over fifteen years ago as a freelance copywriter. This foundational experience shaped my understanding of the power of words and the importance of precise communication in marketing. My journey from crafting compelling content to mastering customer relationship management (CRM) strategies allowed me to discover my passion for combining analytics with creativity to optimize customer journeys and drive business growth.

Evolving Roles & Expertise: Over the years, my roles have evolved significantly. After spearheading the largest CRM team in Ukraine at PrivatBank and driving remarkable revenue growth, I sought new challenges. This led me to integrate complex CRM systems at ALLO, refine marketing strategies as a CMO at Ning, co-found apteka24.ua, and elevate MarTech solutions at DOC.UA. Each position honed my skills in leadership, strategic planning, and marketing automation architecture, reinforcing my expertise in not only leading teams but also in delivering hands-on solutions that propelled companies to the forefront of their markets.

Future Focus: Embarking on a new chapter after a reflective pause, I stand revitalized and fully prepared to dive into a meaningful, long-term role. My recent experience in the Netherlands, navigating through unprecedented personal and global challenges, has not only honed my skills but also strengthened my resilience and adaptability. Now, with a renewed focus and a wealth of experience, I seek to join a visionary organization where I can contribute significantly over the next decade. My goal is to find a role that aligns with my passion for hands-on work, leveraging my deep expertise in analytics, programming, and AI to drive growth and innovation. This next stage in my career is not just about professional advancement; it’s about finding a harmonious balance, where I can apply my skills in a supportive, dynamic environment while cherishing life with my family. As I stand at this juncture, ready and eager, I bring not just my technical skills, but a spirit of resilience, adaptability, and a deep-rooted commitment to delivering lasting value and efficiencies.

― Martine Peeters, STUDOCU, 2023

Oleksandr is a real CRM wizard, who probably has ALL the available knowledge within this domain. He keeps surprising me with the creative ideas and solutions he comes up with. In the rare case of him not knowing something by heart, he dives into the literature and immediately gets what should be done. It's a true inspiration to work with someone who is such a specialist and so passionate about his profession.

As an SEO team lead, I worked with Oleks on the apteka24.ua project. Together we solved the difficult task of recovering the website from a Google YMYL penalty and achieved an increase in project traffic by more than 100%. I can say that Oleksander is an excellent manager. He works for results, always ready to test any ideas of product development and supplement these tests with his ideas and thoughts, which are based on a vast amount of experience and knowledge in marketing. Oleks is an excellent CMO, able to organise the work of a team of marketing experts to achieve any goals and objectives.
