Samet Durgun

Samet Durgun

Samet Durgun is a fractional Head of UA for scaling subscription apps and mobile games, working from Berlin with teams globally. He runs paid acquisition hands-on: Meta, Google, Apple Search Ads, and TikTok, the signal engineering underneath (SKAN, CAPI, pLTV, value optimization), and creative testing systems that keep producing winners past the first month.

His talks are data studies from real accounts rather than frameworks: a $383K country-by-country audit of Meta's tROAS algorithm, a $606K test of what actually predicts day-28 ROAS, and the reconciliation logic for when Meta, the MMP, and the subscription platform disagree. Client spend has scaled past $200K a month to seven-figure monthly revenue; at Wooga he managed $1M+ a month in UA budgets, with earlier roles at Zalando, Deutsche Telekom, Google, Intel, and Oracle.

He publishes every study at growththerapist.com/blog, writes the Profitable App Growth newsletter, judged the App Growth Awards in 2024, and holds a 5.0 on Clutch. He presents in English, Turkish, and German.

Emmi Kavander

After surviving a near-fatal traffic accident in 2017 that doctors had little hope of me surviving, I embarked on a tough journey to understand my purpose to survive. During months of rehabilitation for re-learning to walk, I wondered about my fullest potential.

For 15 years, I had climbed a steep corporate ladder and reached every goal I ever envisioned, especially the ones others said impossible, including a seat in the senior leadership of a stock-listed FinTech before turning 30.

Combined with a decade of intense psychology studies, I realised that instead of using my combined wealth of knowledge for my own success as I had until then, I could help others reach their wildest dreams. This was the responsibility I felt arising from surviving the accident.

Now, as a globally active executive coach and entrepreneur, I bring my solid experience and expertise from years of strategy and psychology, as well as coaching top business leaders, to the table.

My true passion lies in empowering others to reach their aspirations - my speciality is the impossible ones.

Originating from Finland and based in Switzerland, I have an MBA from the University of London and am also an alumna of IMD Business School. In addition, I have studied psychology and NLP (certified Master Practitioner) to deepen my understanding of human psychology.

Solution Architect specialized in Microsoft Power Platform, I’ve had the opportunity to experience this journey from every angle: end user, project manager, business stakeholder, and now architect and strategic deployment leader in large organizations.

I’ve been at the forefront of rolling out Power Platform in complex environments, aligning technological innovation with business goals. In other words: not just building apps, but driving transformation and creating measurable business value.

Throughout my career, I’ve led governance programs, deployed Power Apps solutions to support international initiatives, guided the adoption of AI within business teams… and built communities (4,000 people strong) dedicated to sharing best practices and fostering a sustainable Power Platform culture.

Today, I’d like to share a candid field story: the keys to leveraging Power Platform as a true strategic transformation lever, the practices that really work (and the pitfalls I’ve personally stumbled into 😅)… with one promise: you’ll leave with concrete ideas — and maybe a fresh perspective on your Excel files.
