At VK, I lead end-to-end localization operations for products serving a consumer technology platform with over 100 million users. I manage 5 FTE and a global network of 50+ translators and vendors across 30+ languages, owning strategy, quality standards, workflows, vendor operations, and a 30M+ RUB annual budget.
I've reduced annual localization costs by approximately 7.5M RUB, maintained 98–100% translation coverage in key languages, automated up to 35% of translation volume through machine translation, and rebuilt a contractor network without disrupting delivery. My path at VK spans technical support, project management, and localization leadership, with close collaboration across Product, Engineering, ML, Security, Finance, and Business teams.
