Oh Frac! Ep05: Artyom Chelbayev - Vitamin Lessons: Empowering Women’s Finances

Get ready for a masterclass in modern product leadership and fractional work. In this episode of Oh Frac!, host Adir Ron sits down with battle-tested product leader Artyom Chelbayev (ex-Yelp, Contentful, Prisma, co-founder of fintech startup Vitamin). Artyom unpacks a 15-year journey from analytics to founding, shares why he’s bullish on fractional and interim C-level roles, and explains how an AI-enabled “product OS” could unlock capacity far beyond the product team. From closing the gender wealth gap to surviving corporate innovation “sandboxes,” Artyom drops hard-won insights, horror stories, and practical frameworks you can apply tomorrow. If you’re a fractional executive, founder, or product geek looking to scale smarter and faster—this conversation is your jam.
