About
With a Bachelor of Business Administration from KIMEP University, I have gained extensive experience in brand management. At L'Oréal, I achieved rapid growth in e-commerce share for the YSL portfolio, successfully positioning Black Opium as the #1 fragrance in e-commerce. I also expanded business in underdeveloped regions and led the launch of the LIBRE franchise, resulting in #1 fragrance in L'Oreal Luxe portfolio. During my time at PepsiCo, I achieved market share leadership for Lay's and Hrusteam brands in Central Asia and implemented successful consumer and trade promotions. My strategic approach and agile implementation have consistently driven growth and increased market share. With a proven track record of successful brand management and a focus on digitalization and omnichannel retail experience, I am dedicated to driving brand success and market growth.
