I’m looking for an international role in marketing, brand, growth or communications where I can combine strategy, creativity and analytics. I value ownership, autonomy, clear goals and a strong team. I’m especially interested in remote-first companies where I can work across markets and contribute directly to growth.

What I'm looking for
I’m a marketing, communications and programme professional with 9+ years of experience across the private sector and international development, working across Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
My background combines brand and marketing strategy, digital communications, PR, content, stakeholder engagement and programme coordination. I currently work at Acted as a Regional Communications Officer and Program Coordinator, where I lead regional communications, donor visibility, content development, events, partnerships and programme delivery.
Earlier in my career, I worked in marketing and PR roles in the technology and consumer electronics sectors. At Pixel, I progressed from Marketing Specialist to Marketing, Public and Partner Relations Manager and contributed to the company’s expansion into Uzbekistan. At vivo Uzbekistan, I managed digital campaigns across Google, Facebook and Instagram, reduced inefficient ad spend by 25%, and supported a campaign that generated over 2 million impressions.
Other achievements include growing social media audiences by 60%, building a LinkedIn audience from zero to 1,000+ organically in one year, launching a bilingual newsletter with a 45% open rate, developing regional communications guidelines used across three country offices, and producing communication materials for international donors including the EU, USAID, GIZ and UN IOM.
I’m particularly interested in international marketing, brand and growth strategy, market expansion, digital products and data-driven decision-making. I enjoy roles where I can combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution — from analysing markets and developing positioning to creating campaigns, content and presentations and measuring their performance.
I’m looking for opportunities where I can take meaningful ownership, work across markets and contribute directly to business or organisational growth.
