About

Professional summary

I am a product marketing and business development leader with a 12-year commercial career spanning founder-led e-commerce, B2B technology, and smart-building/IoT markets.

I built regional go-to-market motions from zero across the Middle East, including market entry, positioning, pricing, partner channels, and demand generation. I have worked across B2B SaaS, connected hardware, and e-commerce, and I am comfortable operating in both B2B and B2C environments.

I have led enterprise pipeline development for Tier-1 government and commercial accounts, including multi-stakeholder deals, RFP processes, and contract-stage negotiations. I also built and managed cross-functional teams of 10-15 people and owned regional marketing budgets and commercial execution.

My background includes launching local market infrastructure such as in-country cloud, showrooms, sales-enablement systems, and partner ecosystems. I focus on turning complex products into clear commercial offers and measurable revenue growth.

I am equally comfortable with strategy and execution: from pricing frameworks and P&L ownership to digital acquisition, SEO, CRM funnels, and AI-assisted RevOps workflows. I use data, process, and experimentation to improve conversion and speed.

I am based in Dubai, fluent in English and Russian, open to relocation, and interested in roles where I can lead international expansion, product marketing, partnerships, and revenue growth.

Career history

Business Development Director (MENA) Ujin Technologies LLC

Owned the region's enterprise pipeline across Tier-1 accounts including telco, municipalities, and real-estate developers. I managed the process from first contact through RFP shortlist and built a repeatable qualification and advancement motion.

I grew the partner network across system integrators, distributors, and adjacent-system vendors. I handled commercial terms, negotiations, and joint pilots, and the partner channel became the primary source of qualified demand.

I also managed a regional marketing budget of about US$0.5M and coordinated cross-functional teams across three time zones. I introduced AI tooling into GTM operations, reducing the time needed to prepare sales collateral and outbound by about 60%.

Product Marketing Director (MENA) Ujin Technologies LLC

Led the GCC go-to-market and launch of Ujin OS. I owned positioning, messaging, and buyer personas across the full buying committee, balancing technical narratives for engineers with commercial messaging for executives.

I built the regional GTM foundation, including the UAE entity, in-country cloud for local personal-data residency, and two Dubai showrooms for live demos. These assets became a strong advantage in enterprise negotiations.

I created the GTM sales-enablement toolkit, including battlecards, playbooks, and messaging based on competitive intelligence and pricing benchmarking. From more than 40 custom-scoped proposals, I advanced multiple Tier-1 opportunities to final approval and preliminary contract stages.

Head of Digital (Perm) Ujin Technologies LLC

Ran digital marketing across Russia and the CIS and increased multi-channel monthly reach by 250%. I worked across paid and owned channels, including Yandex, Google, VK, Telegram, Dzen, YouTube, and vc.ru.

I built the inbound lead engine with source attribution in a Bitrix24 CRM funnel and increased the qualified-lead share to 62% in the peak month.

I also optimized paid media and SEO, improving search CTR and growing the organic traffic share.

Head of E-Commerce Gypsopolymer

Ran the full e-commerce P&L for a building-materials manufacturer, covering traffic, sales, warehouse, delivery, and customer service. I led a team of up to 10 people and grew revenue by 80% year over year while expanding the customer base 6x.

I managed paid acquisition, SEO, email, and loyalty programs to drive growth. I also launched the catalog on marketplaces such as Ozon, Yandex.Market, and AliExpress, which grew to about 60% of e-commerce revenue.

I automated operations using Bitrix24 and 1C, and built a dealer portal and unified sales funnel to improve efficiency and visibility.

Founder / Operator Founder and operator of online businesses

Founded and operated online businesses across flowers, seasonal goods, kids' sports gear, and apparel. I owned full P&L and end-to-end operations for each business.

I built D2C stores and marketplace listings on Wildberries and Ozon, handling assortment, purchasing, traffic, sales, and retention. Several businesses scaled from launch to six-figure revenue within the first half-year.

I also owned the operational cycle, including purchasing, product matrix, warehouse, logistics, customer service, hiring, and team management.
