Anton Pikhur
Senior Product Owner Growth & SEOAnton safeguards and accelerates Studyportals’ organic‑traffic growth by shaping a clear product vision for Growth & SEO. He prioritizes and refines the backlog, coordinates Growth and SEO squads, and aligns stakeholders across design, engineering and marketing to deliver data‑driven features that help more prospective students discover and love what Studyportals builds.
Born and raised in Ukraine, Anton moved to the Netherlands and now calls Amsterdam home. When he is not optimizing search visibility, he is chasing rebounds on the basketball court, solving indoor‑bouldering problems, or transforming into a mud‑splattered superhero at obstacle runs. He is also an avid board‑game strategist who thrives on five‑hour epics, and a fan of spontaneous trips, whether cycling through a sleepy Dutch village or hunting for the perfect broodje gezond in a brand‑new city. He likes everything related to sports, especially team games – volleyball, basketball, football. He is very competitive, but also a team player.
His key challenge is to unlock the next wave of sustainable, scalable organic growth for Studyportals in an increasingly competitive higher‑education landscape, balancing rapid experimentation with long‑term SEO best practices while uniting cross‑functional teams behind a shared, impact‑driven product vision. He believes in the company goal and, therefore, he would like to do his contribution in making education more affordable for people from all over the world.
