I joined “inlea”, the international consulting company I work for, 10 years ago as a Project Manager. After two years of work I acquired sufficient knowledge, ability and experience to become Managing Director of the Russian branch and an HR Manager. In this capacity I lead a team of 20+ people from different countries (Algiers, Australia, Egypt, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Turkey, UK, USA, Uzbekistan, and others) who provide services to the clients of “inlea”. On a day-to-day basis I collaborated with the team providing the guidelines and mentoring advice necessary for them to achieve their goals more effectively and provide improved services to their clients. The work I performed was not instructing them; rather it was encouraging them to develop certain strategies and thereby enabling them to enter into new partnerships in the countries they were responsible for in terms of Business Development, Marketing, Event & Project Management. Currently I am managing relationships with the key clients, such as Cisco Systems globally, and performing the full scope of work as an HR Manager, including recruitment, contracting, and managing the remote Teams.

As the Director for Development, I led a team of five, including the Development and Communications Officers. I was responsible for the University’s communications strategy, fundraising, and relationships with donors. I established strong relationships with donors, which allowed the University to increase the volume of funds raised from $2.5 million in 2008 to $3.5 million in 2011. I also led the organisational process of establishing the University endowment fund; one of the first endowment funds in Russia. The profit from the endowment contributed another $1.1 million to the University’s operational budget in 2011. I also made several presentations on fundraising to the staff of other Russian universities, such as the Siberian Federal University in Krasnoyarsk, sharing my expertise and encouraging them to boost their fundraising activities. In 2009, I led a team of the University’s staff responsible for the organisation of the keynote address given by Barack Obama at the Commencement Ceremony of the New Economic School in Moscow.
