About
About
I am a Business Development and Product Management professional with nearly 5 years of experience in technology, fintech, e-commerce, and travel. My expertise includes strategic partnerships, business growth, product development, market expansion, and cross-functional team leadership.
Currently, I work at FBS, where I have led a team of 17 specialists and successfully launched a partner program from scratch, including its billing infrastructure, CRM, and partner platform.
Previously, at Yandex, I worked with leading e-commerce companies, expanded product search coverage to 92% of the Russian online market, and contributed to a 6% increase in partner orders. At MTS Travel, I helped improve customer experience, increasing NPS by 20% and conversion by 3%. At Finxero, I supported international expansion into Kazakhstan and launched a fintech MVP.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Management from Saint Petersburg State University and a Master's degree in Technopreneurship and Innovation from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
I am particularly interested in opportunities that combine business strategy, technology, partnerships, and innovation. I enjoy building products and business processes from scratch, identifying growth opportunities, and transforming strategic ideas into measurable business results.
