What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep translating procurement and supply-chain strategy into measurable savings—using data, modeling, and inventory tools—while working on end-to-end transformations with analytical rigor and clear implementation priorities.

I advise industrial, retail, and mining companies on procurement strategy, operational efficiency, and supply chain transformation, especially in Russia.

At ATK Consulting, I’ve led end-to-end category strategy for a top Russian grocery retailer’s shelving equipment business, redesigned supplier contracts and quality monitoring, and built a gold-mining procurement diagnostic and transformation roadmap.

Earlier, as a Junior Business Analyst, I delivered savings through competitive bidding and built an algorithmic inventory management system that freed up working capital and automated reporting across multiple facilities.
