Summary
Natalie Korotaeva is a product design and DesignOps leader with nine years’ experience turning complex, regulated financial and AI products into intuitive, behavior-changing experiences. At George by Erste Bank she leads Financial Health Product Design and founded the Design Ops function that sustained 85% of design OKR delivery across 12 continuous quarters. Her work spans consumer-facing features (eg. an Apple-linked Move & Save that sustained activity at 73.3%) to SME tools that translate balance-sheet ratios into actionable decisions. She combines hands-on UX craft—redesigning Saving Goals across iOS, Android and web—with org-level enablement like AI workflows, career ladders and UX audit frameworks. A former sole designer on AI/ML projects, she’s equally comfortable shipping ML-driven interfaces and running large-scale events (George UX Conf: 400+ in person, 5,000 remote). Based in Vienna, she’s passionate about making intimidating products feel like they’re on your side and enjoys conversations at the intersection of financial health, AI and behavior change.
