Skin in The Game with Debbie Go

Mariia Potupchik is the Founder & CEO of YourSkills, an AI-powered platform on a mission to make human potential visible. While the world focuses on what AI can do, Mariia is focused on what humans can do—building the intelligence layer that helps companies see the real skills in their people. With over a decade of experience scaling EdTech products across global markets, she knows firsthand what it takes to build from zero—and why most hiring systems are failing the people they're meant to serve. A Stanford GSB LEAD alumna and two-time speaker at the Stanford GSB Me2We Conference, Mariia specializes in the intersection of AI, skills-based leadership, and the future of hybrid work. She mentors founders at the Stanford LEAD Incubator & Startup Accelerator (LISA). Under her leadership, YourSkills was selected as an Impact Startup at Web Summit Qatar 2025 for its commitment to using technology for good and advancing the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
