For over 20 years I have been working in international companies in the TIC + sphere (testing, inspection, certification, consulting), including the last 11 years as the CEO of Russian representative offices. I’m started my career as a surveyor for oil and oil products, then was engaged in operational management, headed small separate divisions, worked as a projects manager, regional sales director, and finally took senior management positions.The TIC industry provides a unique opportunity to gain experience and knowledge not only in the field of inspection, laboratory analytics and certification itself, but also allows (and even requires to achieve good work results!) to dive deeply enough into the details of clients' business processes, gives a wide horizons and versatile skills. Thanks to this, I take the liberty of claiming that I have quite extensive knowledge and practical skills in such areas as maritime transport (especially in terms of transportation of liquid cargo), ports and port facilities, industrial construction, materials and hardware equipment supply chain and some others.
