Summary
Ilias Papounidis is a product manager with 10 years of experience building payment and commerce experiences that scale — from redesigned discovery and ranking systems at Delivery Hero that added $1.65M monthly GMV to enterprise e-commerce and public API launches at Packhelp that cut integration time by 90%. Based in Amsterdam, he blends technical fluency and design sensibility to translate user research and data-driven discovery into clear engineering direction and compelling product messaging. He has a track record across startups, consultancies, and platforms (Netguru, ChowNow, Hopin) of shipping mobile and web experiences, establishing design systems, and introducing experimentation frameworks. Comfortable rolling up his sleeves in code and prototypes, he also coaches peers through internal academies and hands-on builder programs. Known for moving with speed while thinking systematically, he often surfaces non-obvious root causes through mixed-methods research to unlock measurable growth.
