My professional background is anchored in Information Technology, followed by Business Development upon employment at Microsoft Corporation in 2006. Shortly after joining the MCS as an Enterprise Strategy Consultant, I met Leo Klyuev, one of the legendary sales force in the HPC industry, who assessed my performance highly and invited me to join Microsoft EMEA’s Incubation Sales team.

Working in a great team, mentored by one of the best sales professionals in the industry, I perfected my approach to Business Development. I learned how to build trust with the customer base, from senior management to field executives, understanding their goals and challenges, and helping them meet their objectives via interpersonal communications. I learned how to turn professional connections into close acquaintanceships.

As a member of Incubation Sales team, my role was to drive Windows HPC Server propagation and sales through units and revenue. For 3 consecutive years, I was responsible for growing the product’s market share, its visibility and recognition. Looking back, I am proud to say that I helped to execute many significant projects in major industries, such as aviation, ship-building, finance, and digital content creation among many, resulting in positive global impact through technology.

Microsoft was a life-changing journey. However, at my peak, I got an exciting career opportunity and accepted an invitation to join T-Platforms – a core-HPC vendor, which had commenced active international expansion at the time.

After two years in T-Platforms, in 2012 I decided to focus on an individual project and fully devote myself to a small yet interesting business. I am proud to have succeeded in my business and I am content with what I do. I am happy to conclude, that I achieved complete independence and I love my work which allows me to sustain my lifestyle, to save and invest.

Spending more time with my family was also a reason why I temporarily postponed my corporate career. After leaving T-Platforms, I spent a year traveling with my spouse and then dedicated myself fully to our family business. When our sons were born in 2016 and 2018 I decided to place priority on parenting and enjoyed these first precious years with my children.

The 9 years I spent dedicated to my family business did not eliminate my nostalgia for corporate life. Now that my kids have grown out of baby-age, I believe the time has come for me to open a new chapter leading to another great opportunity in my career.
