EXNESS
Building Exness ’ procurement function Having worked for global giants like Philip Morris , Huawei , and HomeCredit Bank , upon joining Exness at the beginning of 2020 Zhantilessov was tasked with building its procurement process from the ground up . The absence of any existing procurement framework was , in his words , “ one of the reasons I accepted an offer from Exness , as it gave me this great opportunity and freedom to build a best-in-class procurement process from scratch .”
Today , he describes the process as one of his proudest professional experiences . “ I treat every professional challenge as an opportunity ,” Zhantilessov says . “ We started by creating a new procurement policy , and after that , it was a change management with all key internal stakeholders . I gradually built a base and using that base , we created and implemented a new procurement service desk and vendor on-boarding process in our ERP system , synchronised with relevant departments .”
Along with the procurement procedure , Zhantilessov also built a new multinational procurement team , based in two core offices : Cyprus and Malaysia .
