What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead international business development and trading growth, using market analysis, strategic client relationships, complex negotiations, and pricing to secure high-margin opportunities.

At Tatarstan Trade House, I lead $60M+ petrochemical trading operations across EU, Eastern European, and Central Asian markets. I doubled annual project turnover from $30M to $60M+ and generated $6M+ in profit.

I build client relationships and negotiate complex international deals with companies including Pirelli, Bridgestone, Cordiant, Nokian, Prometeon, Petlas, and Belshina. My work covers pricing, budgets, contracts, export documentation, logistics, and financial structures.

Earlier, I managed a $20M+ trading project that generated $2M+ in profit, and directed synthetic-rubber procurement for Pirelli facilities across the EU and North America. I also developed pricing formulas, payment tracking, shipment tracking, and supplier partnerships.

At Ayi Partners Limited, I supported a sewage-water treatment and bio-energy project, negotiating with banks, government officials, and suppliers. I bring fluent English, Arabic, and Turkish, alongside native Russian, to international business development and trading environments.
