Valerii
Palamarchuk

Head of Engineering at Leaply Co-founder of CompareTech & Aiter

I turn ambitious ideas into products, systems and teams that move business metrics.

I build the company behind the product.

I’ve spent 15 years in tech, from hands-on engineering to C-level leadership. Originally from Ukraine, I spent six years in Milan, one year in Rio and another in Croatia. Last 3 years I’ve been based in Poland.

Previously, I built CompareTech and Aiter as CTO & co-founder. Today, I’m scaling Leaply as Head of Engineering.
