Top SchoolEvgeniy Zhdanov is a versatile CEO and founder with 10+ years blending strategy, product and hands-on software delivery across startups and enterprise consulting. A Stanford MSx alum who built a digital-ad startup, led a 400-person construction operation to rapid scale, and ran a market-leading DMP company, he now runs a Lisbon-based software outsourcing firm and pilots new venture ideas. He combines pragmatic engineering instincts with investor sensibilities—having led 11 investment deals, exited an early-stage data company, and built integrated DMP-CDP-CRM products for marketing customers. Known for turning complex operational challenges into repeatable processes, he excels at go-to-market execution, productization of data assets, and building teams that ship. Outside the obvious tech and deal pedigree, he enjoys mentoring founders on both business strategy and the human side of scaling ventures.
