• During my career I have always occupied client-facing positions – either internal or external – in which I extensively built trust and managed relationships as a core success factor. As Business and Marketing Manager at Microsoft I was mainly responsible for business development activities and worked directly with the partner’s C-levels to identify gaps in their business processes, resources and capabilities, and to advise on improvement strategies. • I held various technical and non‐technical positions across IT discipline supporting BP’s core businesses in the Upstream. This allowed me to get engaged with a number of business disciplines (operations, health and safety, finance, HR, marketing and communications, and etc.) and develop broad high-level understanding of the oil and gas business. • As a Change Management Consultant at BP I managed to complete a new culture development project that was considered incomplete and abandoned prior to my involvement. As a Business and Marketing Manager at Microsoft I launched and completed a number of programs that required innovative approach along with careful resource management, KPI compliance, and budget control. • I hold a BS degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Moscow State University. Having very strong analytical skills I can develop and analyze complex Excel models including the uncertainty simulation, statistical significance (noise vs. signal) and risk analysis. I enjoy converting hard data into solutions and action plans. As Business and Marketing Manager at Microsoft I was solely responsible for Microsoft Azerbaijan and Microsoft Georgia cost-volume-profit analysis, sales plan development, and reporting to the headquarters. • I have over 12 years work and study experience in multinational environment and I fluently speak three languages.
