Meet Mike — the HR Architect Behind a Preply Unicorn and 200+ Amazon Books

Udemy features me as a Popular Instructor in Human Resources — a status assigned based on ratings, course quality, and category impact.

Before Preply became a $1.2B unicorn, I built the HR operating system that let it scale fast without breaking culture, engagement, or performance. I don't just teach HR. I build HR systems that work under hyper-growth, investor pressure, global teams, and messy processes — then I turn them into courses you can use on Monday morning.


Companies where I built HR systems

Wargaming · Preply · iDeals · PeopleForce · Alfa-Bank · StarLightMedia · and other international tech and gaming companies.


The Preply case (before the headlines)

- Headcount: ~50 → 110+

- eNPS: 30 → 70 in 6 months

- International workforce: 12% → 25%

- OKRs, performance management, and 1:1 leadership routines implemented

- Onboarding system + Employee Handbook

- HR tech stack (15Five, ATS, People Analytics)

- Berlin office launch, relocation & visa operations


That is not HR theory. That is operational HR at scale, under unicorn pressure.

My reach on Udemy
