Oleg Usoltsev’s Experience

• Principal

  Fronteza

  (Investment Management industry)

  January 2009 — Present (11 months)

  I established this company in response to the urgent need of venture capital and private equity in the developing economy of Ukraine, and to attract foreign direct investments. Venture capital and private equity forms the financial bedrock of the developing economy, because it provides funds required for venture companies to develop their projects and cash infusions into distressed companies to survive the crisis and restore their profitability. In this position I worked together with Ukrainian entrepreneurs and business owners to shape up the business model, to create financing plan and help them raise the funds. I communicated with foreign financial companies from UK and USA to negotiate the investment structure and terms. I communicated with foreign business owners and entrepreneurs to help them evaluate current opportunities of the Ukraine’s market, in such sectors as alternative energy, information technologies and food manufacturing. The goal it was to show and clarify to the foreign business owners the opportunities which the Ukraine’s market can provide and how they can benefit them. I worked with mature Ukrainian companies and assist them in finding the foreign investors. Among projects I worked with were automotive infrastructure, real estate, food manufacturing, industrial and IT projects. I was able to establish relationships with foreign private equity and financial companies in USA, Russia, Belgium and UK. Another area of my interests was in securities analysis. I analyzed stocks of foreign companies from USA, UK, Germany and China to find the investment- and speculative-grade securities. I analyzed financial statements of companies operating mainly in green energy, clean tech, information technologies and automotive industry.
  
  I'm looking for partners to develop three key business lines: small and medium business development, private equity and venture capital (portfolio management) and equity trading (first step to IB ops).
