What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining strategic marketing and HR responsibilities at growth-oriented companies, focusing on cross-border recruitment, team building, and scalable processes.

I am a strategic marketing and HR professional with extensive experience in dealer marketing, B2B partnerships, and global recruitment. I have led teams supporting Volkswagen and Audi dealer networks, launched analytical reporting, and improved partner satisfaction and operational efficiency.

In HR and administration roles, I developed and implemented recruitment strategies, hired the majority of current personnel, expanded hiring into new countries, and created HR policies and performance review systems across two companies. I managed employee wellbeing during crises and coordinated complex administrative and financial forecasting tasks.

I combine strong communication, project management, and analytical skills with fluency in Russian, English, and Spanish. I deliver measurable results in marketing launches, team performance, and process optimization while fostering cross-cultural collaboration and scalable HR practices.
