What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead sales and business development, expand markets, build partnerships, and mentor teams in a growth-oriented, customer-focused company.

I am a senior expert in sales and business development with 18+ years delivering measurable revenue growth and market expansion across Turkey, Russia and the CIS. I build high-value client relationships and lead cross-functional teams to execute effective commercial strategies.

My background spans fintech, mining, construction, and payment solutions where I launched companies, opened markets, and managed turnkey operational processes. I combine technical understanding of trading platforms and payment integrations with hands-on sales leadership and account management.

I have led country management, head of sales and technical consultancy roles, run KYC and onboarding processes, and negotiated complex B2B and B2C contracts. I routinely represent companies at international expos and maintain strong pipelines through proactive prospecting and strategic partnerships.

I prioritize customer-centric solutions, continuous improvement, and team development to ensure client success and scalable business growth.
