What Slava does at Stellar Staff

Slava co-founded Stellar Staff in 2022. Since then, the company has placed more than 1,000 remote hires. He leads marketing and how Stellar Staff explains its services to prospective clients, including how roles are defined, how pricing is presented, and which questions need to be answered before a client books a call.

From freelancing to agency ownership

Before Stellar Staff, Slava founded We Run Your Ads in 2018, where he managed more than $19 million in ad spend for clients. Before that, he worked as a freelancer. That background gives him firsthand experience both delivering remote work and running a business that relied on remote contractors.

Why that matters for clients

Slava has seen common remote-work problems from both perspectives: unclear scope, slow feedback, and work handed off without clear expectations. That experience shapes how Stellar Staff defines roles and sets expectations across its service pages, so clients understand what each hire is responsible for before they start.
