Launching
ventures
from blueprint to profit
Director of New Business Launch. I close the full cycle single-handedly: I build the financial model, raise investment, construct the facility and drive it to operating profit. 10+ years: real estate development, retail, entertainment, government relations.
I close the launch chain end to end
A new venture usually requires hiring three people: a finance lead, a construction manager, and an operations director. I run the whole cycle alone — from the financial model and fundraising to the facility, the team, and operating profit. Foundation: international economics and risk management from MGIMO, GR experience inside a federal ministry, Agile and AI tools in daily work.

I run the numbers before
the decision, not after
Foundation: international economics and risk management from MGIMO, layered with data-analysis coursework from Moscow State University, HSE, and Python. I use quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, from sample-size calculations and econometric tests to financial models and the Analytic Hierarchy Process.
P&L and Cash Flow
Financial models for construction companies, B2B and B2C retail: P&L, cash flow, scenarios and sensitivity analysis.
DCF and Investment Analysis
Discounted cash flows, NPV, IRR, WACC and payback periods for investment decisions.
Statistical Methods
Correlation and covariance, econometric tests, sample-size calculations — quantitative and qualitative methods.
Analytic Hierarchy Process
Strategic decision-making using AHP — applied on projects for 1WorldSync and ViacomCBS.
Unit Economics
Unit models for small business: LTV, CAC, margin, break-even point and acquisition cost.
Regulatory Impact Assessment
Cost assessment for 900,000+ regulated businesses totaling over 40B RUB — with dashboards for decision-making.
I build things
beyond Jira
Construction, interiors, landscaping and painting aren't a resume line — they're a way of life. Everything in the photos below was designed and made with my own hands: from the budget and framing to the last brushstroke on canvas.
Construction
3 houses, gazebos and pergolas: from foundation and framing to roofing
Interiors
3 turnkey apartments: layout, lighting, furniture, design supervision
Landscaping
Zoning, planting, stonework and evening garden lighting
Painting
Canvas paintings: from sketch to framing and delivery to the client
