NikeIndirect Procurement, Digital Marketing & Media
Sep. 2017 - Sep. 2020Netherlands · On-siteLooking back, working for Nike was a love-hate relationship. During 8 years I met a lot of super talented people, who are the support network I rely on till today. I have established the procurement function in Russia, my manager, Head of Procurement at a time, trusted my vision and promoted me to the Eastern Europe procurement lead. I thrived on the level of trust, autonomy and authority she granted me, and after 2,5 years I've been promoted to regional procurement lead of professional services category and moved to the Netherlands, Nike European Headquarters. My career at Nike evolved and I was leading two other categories in indirect procurement - Meetings and Events and later Digital Marketing and Integrated Media. Building supplier partnerships, co-creating strategies of the future, inventing and learning, working crazy hours and having unlimited holidays - this is how I remember the best Nike days. For the last year and a half at Nike, I was the co-chair of the Employee Network "Meet cancer" focusing on adapting the workplace for the needs of employees, re-integrating back to work after the long term sick leave. We have created private changing rooms for women, who were touched by cancer, ran cancer awareness campaigns, organized charity runs of more than 800 people, and worked with HR on raising emotional intelligence of people managers to establish compassionate re-integration for the employees after the sick leave.

EricssonSourcing and logistics manager
Sep. 1997 - Jul. 2007Moscow, Russian Federation, later - Tbilisi, GeorgiaEricsson was my first employer, the company I joined right after the university graduation. I was studying to be a translator, but my broader interest was with finance and supply chain back then. I started to work as a personal assistant for Finance Director, and in 6 moths, he took a leap of faith in me and I was enrolled for the 1 year Accounting course at the Moscow State University (the leading educational institution in Russia). After this study I got my dream job as an Intercompany Accounts payable accountant. What remained strong throughout my whole career, was an unstoppable desire to learn new things. Having interacted on daily basis with Logistics function, I have moved there in a couple of years. This is where my devotion for Procurement was born. Back then it was not even called Procurement, as it was the time when the whole notion of Procurement started to emerge in organizations. I can proudly call myself the Procurement Veteran!
