Career Profile

Self-made, mature, broad-minded Manager
Spent last 25 years in IT. During all the years of continous growth I’ve developed and implemented a lot of processes. Being process-oriented person was an interesting experience for me. Now it’s time to switch to result-oriented approach.

Keen to find new opportunities and new experience using a previous one as а fulcrum.

Highly developed emotional intelegence, combined with extensive industry expertise and ability of clear calm explanation of obvious things to a layman – led to an ability to coordinate highly loaded projects.
