Top SchoolDenis Lapaev is a seasoned technology leader with 13 years of hands-on engineering and product leadership, now heading Supply at Yandex after a string of CTO and CPO roles across fintech and edtech. He combines full-stack development roots with a product-first mindset, shipping high-traffic UGC and AI-driven products (including an AI handwriting checker and speech-defect ML models) and driving measurable growth in retention, LTV and conversion.
