Currently I’m working in consulting, however, I’m considering a change in my career track. Meeting people with different backgrounds both personal and professional (including non-corporate and creative worlds) would hopefully help me to look at the next step from a different angle and inspire to think out of the box.

Based on the mission and events that already happened, I believe becoming a member of 1833 would enrich me both personally and professionally, and allow me to understand the Middle East better through insightful discussions, and meeting the creative community. It would also allow me to give back to the community by sharing my 15+ years of professional expertise in areas like supply chain, project management and digitalisation. Also, I believe, I would be able to contribute to the overall discussion due to my multicultural upbringing and having lived and worked in several countries in (Europe, Russia, Middle East). I have started learning Arabic and consider the UAE my home long-term, and I am keen to continue to immerse myself in the community and learn, and contribute in any way I can.

I like oil painting, photography and ballet, visiting museums, art galleries and music concerts, exploring other cultures through food and meeting new people. In addition to that, in my free time I do Pilates and planning to re-start Olympic fencing, meet with my friends or spend quality time with my family and cat Simba.
