Professional Summary

I specialize in strategic transformation, operational excellence, and digital evolution — from technology startups to large federal holdings across various industries. I adapt quickly, bring order to chaos, and make decisions in complex, unconventional situations.

My focus is not to “implement a system,” but to design a management architecture where decisions are driven by data, trust, and meaning, and where technology amplifies both people and the business model:

  • Over 15 years of successful experience across multiple industries at the intersection of business and IT — from project manager to CEO, in organizations ranging from startups to large federal holdings.
  • Managed annual budgets exceeding 20 billion RUB, led teams of more than 400 people and dozens of contractors.
  • Delivered complex, large-scale innovation projects with proven business impact (Computer Vision, Biometrics, MaaS, Big Data, BI, Smart Cities, IoT, Cloud, Cybersecurity, ERP, CDP).

“I’m interested in companies that aim not just to implement technologies, but to change the way they think — from micromanagement to conscious leadership driven by data and meaning.”
