AI Enthusiast. Founder at Future as Usual — Making teams AI-native through training & automation. More than 10000 employees trained across 50+ companies.
Future is Usual is a boutique partner for every stage of AI transformation: inspire, train, implement, improve. The idea behind the company is helping organisations and people connect with the most current technologies and achieve outsized results with them — even among those deep in the AI space, the knowledge gap is still enormous.
Formats range from a three-hour intensive to a full transformation program: flagship AI foundations workshops, function-specific deep dives for executives, HR, marketing, finance and design, vibe-coding for non-engineers, and AI agents built hands-on with the client’s team. Typical outcomes: 85% of employees using AI daily, around a third less routine work, up to 10x productivity on specific tasks, and the path from idea to working prototype cut from weeks to an hour.
Kirill specializes in building businesses from the ground up, blending strategic leadership with hands-on execution. His expertise extends beyond AI into FinTech, mobile apps and consumer digital services, where he has driven innovation and growth.
With over 12 years in top positions, including 5 years as CEO and 6 years as CPO, he brings a deep understanding of product development and delivery. He is deeply focused on understanding customer needs and has consistently succeeded in delivering the best solutions to meet them.
His track record includes co-founding a digital bank inside a publicly listed real estate group and scaling it from zero — assembling the team, launching two products within three months, acquiring 5,000+ clients and securing a banking license through M&A; leading digital transformation as Chief Digital Officer of a major retail bank, growing the share of digital sales from 3% to 70% with a 250-person organisation; and running product for the SME mobile banking app of a top-tier bank.
Kirill combines strategic foresight with a strong product-driven approach, emphasizing collaboration, scalability and long-term impact. Whether it is AI adoption, scaling startups or enhancing digital platforms, he focuses on delivering meaningful results in competitive and highly regulated industries.
