My work experience can be called truly diverse:

- I started working as the CEO and co-owner of a small design studio in 2004. For three years of very hectic, but fun activity, our team has found investments and expanded our staff. My own Mission was accomplished but I felt myself completely exhausted, so I decided to sell my stake in the company. 
During this period, as a leader of a small team I performing absolutely every conceivable function and gained tremendous experience working under stress and tight deadlines.

- After a short rest, my career suddenly turned into a Paralympic sport. The result of my hard work was quite astonishing: I took part in the 2010 Vancouver's Paralympic Games as a first Ukrainian Paralympic alpine skier. 
These were turbulent times, filled with daring challenges, suspense and constant stress. In an attempt to raise money for training, our team organized various events, thanks to which I gained valuable experience in administration, improved stress resistance and learned to speak in public.

- Being passionate about sport, i worked in the small fitness club as a personal trainer from 2014 to 2016  in a small fitness club. Mentally rewarding, but not profitable.

- Since 2016, I began to develop another business in the field of medical cannabis. During the year we reached a competitive level and I attracted an investor. Unfortunately, the cardinal difference in views on development with a business partner made me look for myself in new industries.
Work in the highly professional environment, challenging tasks, mutual respect in working communication.
Searching opportunities to master new skills and expand my professional horizons.
