        I'm very happy that I had a chance to learn from Ekaterina. As a product owner of both web and mobile products, I'd say that a lot of things are also useful for the web.  One of the highlights was the emphasis on experimentation and testing. I explored how to design and execute experiments to optimize conversion rates and funnels.

        The course provided a lot of interesting insights, a lot of food for thought! Sometimes, the amount of content could feel a bit overwhelming, making it difficult to keep up with the pace next to one’s full-time job. Still, Ekaterina has a lot of experience and it was great to be able to ask her specific questions and get responses in short time.

        This course is ideal for someone who wants to get started with mobile growth. For me, the course was more of a refresher but provided a structure to what I’ve known. I kept coming back to the content on topics like Virality or ASO. I got the most out of the course by interacting with Ekaterina during workshops while she was sharing her experience.

About me

Ekaterina Gamsriegler

Ekaterina Gamsriegler

I've been working for 13+ years in growth and marketing roles as an operator and a leader and got hands-on experience in scaling user acquisition, improving retention, and increasing revenues for mobile apps like IG Trading, adidas Training, Mimo, and others. As a team member and a lead, I've grown apps to 500k-1m MAUs and from 0 to $3-10 million in ARRs.


For the last 3 years, I've also been teaching digital marketing, consulting, and mentoring startups and scaleups on growth. This helped me apply my experience and 'playbooks' to a wider range of cases and understand what mobile and digital businesses need at different stages of their development.

I love sharing my experience, structuring it, and now I’d love to share my key learnings, successes, failures, and frameworks that help me succeed in my day-to-day work with you.

The goal of this sheet is to help you make more informed decisions and better prioritize different experiments and features that you can work on in order to increase app revenues. For example, you can use it to make decisions about increasing/decreasing budgets, product changes, pricing, conversion rate improvements, and more. You can also use it to compare different scenarios and determine which of them has a bigger impact on the bottomline.
