Work experience

Functional consultant/Power Platform developer

from 07.2025 to now (8 months)
Career transition, Київ (IT)

After more than two decades in executive leadership roles across sales, marketing, and strategic development in Ukraine and international markets, I made the conscious decision to take a career break and redirect my professional focus.

This period coincided with a time of profound instability and uncertainty in Ukraine due to the ongoing war. As traditional business sectors became less viable, I took the opportunity to reflect, reassess, and pivot towards a more sustainable and future-oriented direction — technology and digital transformation.

I have since dedicated myself to retraining as a Microsoft Business Applications professional, completing advanced training in Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. I've also started developing my own educational app as a pet project, applying no-code development, business logic, and UI/UX design — and positioning myself for an international career in tech.

This career break has been one of the most challenging and growth-filled chapters of my life. It has strengthened my adaptability, resilience, and commitment to continuous learning — qualities I now bring into my new direction.

STRENGTHS

I believe that management (business administration) is built on the knowledge and deep understanding of 5 blocks for constant study and improvement:
- Clients. Segmentation, profile and customer’s journey.
- Product or service. Diversification.
- Competitors.
- Digitization, optimization and cyclicality of business processes.

- Discourse. Creating and maintaining a brand, idea, story.
- Expertise. Analytics and information support.
- Advertising.

I have worked with all these categories and I am ready to apply my practical skills in further work.

The main thing for success in business is to keep the balance positive applying imagination and willpower to do what others don’t. I am the one who make the things work.
