Mike Sannikov is a product manager with 15 years of hands-on experience delivering hardware products across consumer electronics, IoT, automotive, AR and optical domains. He specializes in end-to-end NPI — from concept and prototyping through tooling, mass production and OQC — and has repeatedly led small cross-functional teams through EVT/DVT/PVT cycles to profitable launches. Comfortable in startup rhythms, Mike combines rapid, data-driven decision making with deep technical fluency across ID, MD, EE, FW and SW, and has established manufacturing in China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Notable highlights include directing hardware for Yandex Station (with a USPTO design patent), shipping tens of thousands of automotive and smart-speaker units, and delivering over 300 vending machines tailored for Japanese customers during the pandemic. An open-source maker at heart, he founded DIY hardware projects and treats GitHub as his professional square for experimentation and collaboration. Based in Helsinki, he brings pragmatic, sales-oriented product leadership that fills technical gaps while driving teams to ship.
