From July 2007 till August 2010 I have worked for different companies as Marketing Expert. From 2010 till 2013 I was working for Soyuzopttorg company as Product Manager.

In 2014 I found my own Company (Galore Men LLC - Distributor of professional men's grooming products). I started my company by becoming the representative of Chicago Comb Co. (USA) brand in Russia. Now, my Company is one of the leading Distributors of premium class professional men's grooming products in Russia. I represent such brands as London Grooming, Solomon's, Graham Hill Cosmetics and others.
