AzerbaijanWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Executive Manager with experience developing and directing organizational strategy, drafting organizational policies and philosophies, and overseeing day-to-day business activities. I lead performance reviews, prepare comprehensive budgets, and report on revenue and expenditure while keeping departments aligned with goals.
I focus on strong execution across Procurement Control, Administrative Control, Sales Control, and Internal Quality Control. I conduct marketing and sales research, draw up contracts, and review contract terms and conditions—also translating contracts between Azerbaijani, Russian, and English.
My background includes Executive Assistant responsibilities and earlier customer-facing roles where I built professional service habits and team support. I coach department heads, guide employees through their development, develop long-term departmental goals, and work to ensure employees are happy and customers are supported.
I hold an MBA in Production and Operation Management and a Bachelor in Finance and Credit. I’ve also completed ISO 9001:2015 Internal QMS Auditor training and additional business and operations seminars, including Python programming basics by IT STEP Academy.
