Lena Kul
Design Recruitment & Job Search Advisor | Founder at ku:l | ex-Miro
I am a seasoned Recruitment Leader specializing in product design and UX research hiring at Senior IC (Senior/Lead/Staff) and Leadership (Managers/Directors/VP) levels.
I previously led recruitment at Miro, where I built a top design team in Europe by attracting over 30 senior talents from FAANG companies and other leading brands. Then I moved into UX Research and spent a year conducting mixed methods research in Canvas and a collaboration team.
Currently, I run kuːl, a successful boutique recruitment and job search advising agency dedicated to helping product designers and UX researchers excel in their job searches and career transitions.
With years of experience scaling Product Design and UXR teams in highly demanding, designer-driven, hyper-growth environments, I have hired dozens from renowned companies like Spotify, Zendesk, Shopify, Booking.com, and others, as well as identified talent from lesser-known brands who now thrive in top organizations.
I bring a wealth of experience and best hiring practices that enhance my coaching capabilities.
My insider perspective allows me to provide actionable advice based on real-life experiences, ensuring my clients have the best chance for success.
I developed this course to help everyone secure the roles they deserve and build the careers they aspire to achieve.
