Now my professional goal is “directors management”. All of my previous life I’ve been marketing guy who knows “how and why we should to do that”. Last several years shows me that if you are not a business owner you have a little chance to do what you want. And I’ve chose my way – own business. I’m selling now my skills and experience: 13 years in marketing, 7.5 years in IT industry, 5 years in management, and 5 years of international experience (company and people management in Europe, Middle East and Africa). My approach is to be a personal consultant, trainer and adviser for my clients and business partners.
My mid-term goal is to be an invited speaker for conferences and meetings. My long-term goal is to be an advisor or board member of A-caliber companies.
