About

I help marketing agencies in CIS deliver stronger strategies for their clients — without hiring a senior strategist in-house. Over 10 years I've built marketing from both sides: → Ex-CMO at Express24 — built the marketing function from scratch, scaled to Seedstars acceleration. → Ex-Senior Marketing Manager at Magnit — launched 12 retail stores and the loyalty program during market entry into Uzbekistan. → Strategy Consultant at Space Marketing — authored 10+ brand and communication strategies for agency clients. I work with agencies in a white-label format: I lead the strategy work, they keep the client relationship and margin. My edge — I integrate AI into every stage of strategy work: research, competitive intelligence, briefing, and documentation. This means faster turnaround and sharper output without compromising depth. Three ways we can work together: - Strategy Sprint (3-5 weeks): marketing, brand or communication strategy ready to defend in front of the end client - AI Audit (2–3 weeks): diagnostic + roadmap for integrating AI into agency workflows - Fractional retainer: ongoing strategic support across multiple agency clients Based in Tashkent, work remote across CIS and Europe Languages: Russian, English, Uzbek.
