Throughout my professional career, I have successfully executed a multitude of deals and commercial transactions across various industries. These industries include furniture trade, import and export of food items, as well as dealing with marble, granite, and timber. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed a furniture factory, established efficient logistics operations for showroom deliveries in the UAE, completed numerous design projects, and participated in trade shows in both the UAE and Russia. My skills in interior design, business setup and management, logistics, procurement, retail wholesale, and supply chain management have consistently contributed to the prosperity and success of the businesses I have been involved with. From overseeing the manufacturing process to managing a factory with over 170 Designers, furniture technicians and workers, I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality results. I also founded and operated a furniture showroom in a prominent Moscow mall, which unfortunately had to be liquidated due to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, I managed two furniture stores and a factory in the Emirates from 2004 to 2018, completing numerous furnishing projects, decoration works, and manufacturing and installing curtains and chandeliers. I am dedicated to implementing creative solutions that drive operational efficiencies and streamline processes, ultimately contributing to the growth and success of any business I am involved with.
