About

Professional summary

I am a senior business development professional with more than 10 years of experience in banking, payments, financial institutions, and cross-border infrastructure. I specialize in building institutional client relationships and creating commercial opportunities across complex, multi-jurisdictional markets.

I develop cross-border payment, treasury, and settlement solutions for banks, fintechs, payment service providers, and non-bank financial institutions. My work spans the full deal cycle, from identifying client requirements and structuring commercial models to operational design, implementation, and go-to-market delivery.

I have extensive experience managing correspondent banking relationships, payment routing optimization, and financial-market transactions. I have supported high-value transactional flows, developed recurring fee-income opportunities, and expanded partner networks internationally.

I am experienced in negotiating and structuring master agreements, including ISDA, RISDA, MBKD, and CSA documentation. I combine commercial relationship management with an understanding of FX, money markets, OTC products, settlement workflows, AML/KYC, and regulatory requirements.

Based in Dubai, I am a native Russian speaker with proficient English and am available immediately. I am interested in senior business development and partnership roles within payments, PSPs, fintech, banking, and cross-border financial infrastructure.
