Managing Partner at Yalla Lunch, bringing corporate meals together through a subscription platform with an AI nutritionist.

Kazakhstan
Message

At Yalla Lunch, I help bring corporate meals to office teams through a subscription platform where employees choose from partner kitchens and companies manage budgets, limits, and payments in one place. The platform also includes an AI nutritionist, and we’re launching in Kazakhstan while taking our first orders in Uzbekistan.

Before Yalla Lunch, I worked in marketing from 2017 onward, including building Foodband’s marketing department in Kazakhstan and restoring its delivery-platform rating from below 2.0 to 4.5+ within a month. I’ve also worked across banking, education, food delivery, and other sectors, developing marketing strategies, campaigns, and product launches.
