E&Y Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist
I was born and raised in Moscow. My mother is a financial worker, and my father is a professional athlete in horse trials, USSR champion, European medalist. For 7 years now, he has annually confirmed the title of champion of Russia. Currently is playing for the Russian Paralympic team.
Apparently, this original set influenced my ability to focus on the result and the skill to calculate the assets properly when achieving it, and it definitely affected my love for sports and passion for entrepreneurship.
By the way, as a child, I planned to start my business in Spain and, in many ways, the profound training in the Spanish language at school No. 168 made these plans quite feasible.
However, I wanted to start working here and now, without waiting for graduation, so I earned my first money helping to sell radio components in Luzhniki.
This is how my entrepreneurial journey has begun.
