C-suite executive driving market entry, operations, and profitable growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a C-suite executive with extensive international experience across automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial manufacturing sectors in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the CIS. I specialize in market entry, production setup, sales channels, and B2G partnerships.
At PT. Heavy Equipment Sinogroup I launched the company, secured OEM dealership agreements, built a remanufacturing plant, led digital transformation of spare-parts sales, and delivered profitability within six months. I have a proven track record of improving liquidity and preparing businesses for IPO readiness.
Previously I established subsidiaries and distribution networks for Kamaz and other OEMs, achieved double-digit ROI and strong sales growth, implemented ERP and audit functions, and reduced costs through process automation and supply-chain redesign. I have led defense and government-level projects, technology transfer, and homologation programs.
I bring multilingual communication and cross-cultural negotiation skills, a results-oriented leadership style, and a focus on compliance, operational efficiency, and stakeholder management. I seek roles where I can scale operations, optimize P&L, and lead strategic market expansion initiatives.
