PROFILE I’m an experienced business and financial manager. I worked both in big system companies and in little startups.
I’m oriented toward problem-solving and increasing of performance of undertaking processes. I have been
heavily involved in business processes on a strategic corporate level, so I'm good at solving cross-functional
issues. I'm interested in C- level or senior position in finance, operations or business administration in a
stable-growing mid-market IT or another service company. Also, I would be happy to try myself in project or
product management in a small or middle-market company. Remote or hybrid work is preferred.
