“ I ’ d also like to highlight the significant role played by top executives in building the procurement function . These include Egor Fedorov ( Chief of Staff ), Dmitry Sedov ( Chief Financial Officer ), and Sardana Mikheeva ( VP of Operations ).

I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to gain such amazing experience from such a strong team .”
