For twenty years now, I have been oscillating between marketing technology and entrepreneurship. I have advised the biggest global brands when it comes to digital presence in the local market. Today, I still advise some global, but also many local companies – both small and large.

In the past few years, I worked as a consultant, educator and expert on numerous EU projects and collaborated with USAID, UNDP, Thomson Foundation, OSCE, UNICEF and other donors.
