Building a Tech-Driven Business
Without Quitting Your Job

12:00 PM – 1:00 PM 

In this interactive session, Ksenia Votinova-Arnaud, a serial tech entrepreneur and business coach who has helped over 1,100 executives launch their projects, will guide you step-by-step through building a scalable, tech- and AI-empowered business while maintaining your corporate career.

Designed for ambitious executives, this session will help you align your entrepreneurial aspirations with your professional responsibilities so they complement rather than compete.

  • Identify your ideal customer and design a scalable business model that fits a demanding schedule.
  • Craft and validate an irresistible offer using proven lean strategies.
  • Manage your time, energy, and focus to avoid burnout while balancing competing priorities.

What you’ll get:

  • A workbook to help you start building your action plan during the live session and continue implementing it afterward, including additional bonus resources.
  • Frameworks to focus on high-leverage actions and eliminate wasted effort.
  • Strategies for time-blocking, boundary setting, and micro-efforts to make consistent progress while balancing entrepreneurship with a demanding career.

By the end of the masterclass, you will:

  • Leave with a clear roadmap to launch your tech business within the next 12 months while maintaining your full-time role.
  • Understand how to integrate entrepreneurship into your life without sacrificing personal time or professional performance.
  • Build your action plan to move forward.
