For over 20 years, my work has been helping people run their businesses more accurately and efficiently. I love my work passionately. I like the idea to make our world a little better place by improving my clients’ business. What I do is called management consulting all over the world or, as is more usual in Russia, business consulting.
Working first as a consultant (internal and external) in various structures, in 2009 I founded the company “Acument Partners“, where I hold the position of Managing Partner. Since 2013, I have also been a Partner of the European consulting company “allocate International”.
The city where I live is Moscow, Russia, but the geography of my work often extends beyond the Moscow Ring Road, the borders of Russia and even the continent’s shores. Wherever your business is located, I will be happy to help you in matters of accurate and efficient management.
My work has already helped
to improve management in companies in 11 countries, operating in 137 cities
