How did you get the job of lecturer and regional manager?
After graduation I returned to Russia and worked in the natural gas and energy sector as import/export manager, but I soon realized that my heart belonged to China. I took a full-time Putonghua course in Shenzhen, and my teacher recommended me at Shenzhen University, College of International Exchange to teach international trade.
As for my job at Zopoise, I gave an “elevator pitch” to a Turkish CEO, and after that we met several times. Thanks to his introduction, my MBA and my experience, the company employed me as the regional manager for Russia and the former Soviet states.
