Hi, I'm Roman Kudryashov.

I'm the co-founder of Dragon Blood Balm and the founder of Recommended Systems. Previously, I was the head of both product and marketing at Pager, a healthtech company. Before that, I was the head of digital at Kwiat | Fred Leighton. I also run ErrorStates.com.

This blog is about figuring out how to be better at running projects, teams, and businesses.
