Born in May 10, 1982. Degree in Economics; Degree in Intercultural Communication. I have started my career in Germany conducting market research projects for German companies in steel and timber industries.
Six years later I moved to Russia, where I promoted through roles with increasing scope and responsibility, starting as a Market Research Manager and culminating as a Deputy Director of Global Sales and Business Development Director, served on Strategic Council of Atlantis-Pak ranked in the top 10 companies in the global food packaging market with sales to 85+ countries. I was responsible for strategic market research, global sales strategy formulation and implementation management, establishing foreign branches in Europe, America, MENA and Asia and ensuring continued revenue growth, managing workflow of +30 managers and sales reps to drive export sales. I am proud to be a part of this fascinating success story.
After 10 years with Atlantis-Pak brand I moved to the USA, where I drive business expansion into the US and South America as a Director of Sales and Strategic Marketing of DIMET GmbH, the manufacturer of heavy lifting equipment for the steel industry. It was success, and in 2022 I decided to focus on my own projects.
In 2024 I moved to Republic Tatarstan as a Chief Marketing Officer and Member of Strategic Council of Danaflex — one of the global leaders in developing and manufacturing flexible packaging and high performance packaging films, serving domestic market leaders, multinational corporations and global brands including Nestlé, Pepsi-Co, Mondelez, Unilever, Jacob’s Douwe Egberts, and others.
My passion for sales, coupled with my cosmopolitan outlook, has always placed me among skilled professionals from diverse industries. These valuable connections have enabled me to build a strong and persistent team of business developers and marketers, ready to support you in your market entry and international business development.
