About 🌎 Olga Nazarkova

I happily accept all appropriate LinkedIn network invitations and can be reached via InMail.I am a highly competent situational leader skilled in identifying major opportunities and mobilising organisations to deliver them at pace whilst remaining customer-obsessed.At Mothercare, I led the acquisition of Mothercare Ukraine, was responsible for Retail business in several markets, and launched e-commerce from scratch in ten countries. With Amazon, I led the opening of seamless global stores that allow people from one country to buy items on non-local stores, and amazon.co.uk can now be shopped from over 100 countries. At Modanisa, a pure-play global modest fashion retailer, I significantly improved EBITDA by optimizing costs and marketing efficiency. I successfully managed a culture transformed into a purpose-driven and data-driven business. At Funky Pigeon, I changed the company's customer proposition to create new long-lasting competitive advantages and led the defense and recovery from a major Cyber-attack.My specialties are….Consumer-focused industriesGeneral Management in Retail, including pure playsSales, Brand & Marketing, Buying & Operations managementMultichannel Development & E-commerceTech Product Development & UXInternational Business DevelopmentRetail Operations & Store managementSustainability managementPeople and teams are the foundation of any business, and it has been my pleasure to encourage and promote many colleagues throughout my career. I set high standards for the hiring bar, performance and promotion assessment, and leadership development.As part of giving back, I have mentored several people during my career journey and have been an Advisor to CEO-Founders, particularly in Sustainability and Retail Innovation space. I am passionate about Sustainability, Leadership, Coaching, Technology, and Holistic well-being.As a fully-qualified Hatha Yoga Teacher, my attitude to mind, body, and spirit has enabled me to contextualise all life elements and increase self-awareness. I love attracting and spreading positive energy and believe in 'as you sow, so shall you reap'; I always try to do my share of daily good deeds in all aspects of my life. In work, this means supporting good causes, helping people around me grow professionally and personally, and helping them to find meaning at work (not just What? but Why?). Fundamentally, I energise organisations to do well and to do good.
