I believe that now both diligent business owners and state-level strategists can and should radically change the approach to the formation of their teams, training a new generation of specialists by introducing digital tools and real field data.

Large-scale organizational challenges are where I can apply my experience in solving out-of-the-box tasks and the skill of building and managing large teams finely-honed in countless projects.

Both professionally and personally, it is important for me to be in motion, to be active.

At my leisure, I prefer any type of physical activity - swimming (since childhood), running, traveling with my family across the vast expanses of my Motherland.
