268: From First Business Hire to VP of Sales: 8 Years of Growth at PartnerStack with Nikita Zhitkevich

In this week’s throwback episode of The 20% Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nikita Zhitkevich, VP of Sales at PartnerStack. Nikita’s journey into entrepreneurship started with online reselling and side hustles before pursuing biomedical sciences. But instead of following the traditional path into medicine, he took a leap into startups, building a marketplace for retired professionals before becoming the first business hire at PartnerStack.

Key topics include:

Growing up in an immigrant family and how it shaped his mindset
Early entrepreneurial lessons from selling online and ski instructing
Pivoting from biomedical sciences to tech startups
Lessons from building a marketplace and why he left it
How a random LinkedIn connection led him to PartnerStack
Being willing to grow and change with a company as it scales

This conversation is packed with lessons on career transitions, business acumen, and the power of being open to unexpected opportunities.

Please enjoy this week’s episode with Nikita Zhitkevich.
