With over two decades in recruitment, executive search, marketing, and consulting, I help founders, funds, and teams scale globally.

Since then, I’ve been deeply involved in building the crypto talent ecosystem - connecting innovators with builders, investors, and visionaries shaping the future of money, infrastructure, and decentralized technology.

Corporate Event Manager

I am best at creating conditions for people for realizing their potential.

Since 2009, my professional activity has been related to organization of events: from large corporate events to production of online projects.

My personal experience shows that there are no geographical boundaries for professional growth if a person is inspired by work and does job with love. As Mark Twain famously said:
“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

I started my career in recruitment about two years ago, and have been mostly focused on hiring for various roles and clients in the Crypto & Blockchain space - web3, bitcoin, fintech, ethereum, DeFi, NFT, Metaverse, crypto mining etc

My mission is connecting people to opportunities and projects that really help change this world for the better.
