What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an international, remote-first role where I can coordinate complex engineering-to-commercial execution, drive operational diagnostics, and use hands-on judgment to align distributed stakeholders across markets.

I’m a cross-functional project and operations leader with 16+ years coordinating complex B2B engineering projects across energy, industrial, and semiconductor-adjacent environments. I build the bridge between manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and enterprise customers across Russia, China, and CIS markets.

I lead full-cycle delivery—from market analysis and lead generation through EPC project support and after-sales—while applying predictive analytics for partial-discharge and arc-time monitoring. I’ve authored proprietary technical-gas monitoring and project-sales diagnostic methodologies, and I’m transitioning from commercial leadership into international project coordination, operations, and advisory roles with remote-first execution.
