What I'm looking for
For 12 years I was Managing Director of two import and distribution companies: an industrial wire and strip supplier in Moscow (2014–2022), which won Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai and Volkswagen plants as clients, and TRM Distribucija in Belgrade (2022–2026), an importer of outdoor, tool and truck-parts brands that I owned and sold in October 2026.
The work covered suppliers in Germany, Austria and the US, stock, sales teams and international trade logistics: import and export documentation, customs, and freight by sea, road, rail and air. At TRM I took over a stalled Odoo ERP project and put it into operation; counterparty reconciliations went from 2–4 weeks to real-time data.
The online store launched at TRM is now my own business. There I use AI tools to take manual work out of operations, and a person approves anything that costs money.
Based in Montenegro. Looking for operations and general management roles, remote or on site in the UAE/GCC with an employer visa. Available within a week.
