Summary
I am a graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in teaching English and German as foreign languages from a Russian university. Also, I possess hands-on experience in Customer Service which I have gained while working for 9 years at the US Embassy in Russia as the Embassy’s motor fleet dispatcher where I used to intensively liaise with customers on all levels. Besides, I’ve got a great deal of expertise in nearly all areas of logistics that I’ve gained during my work at such major multinationals as Mars Inc. and Groupe Renault. I am a friendly, honest, self-organized, and attentive to details, fast learner with superior problem solving and communication skills. Also, I am very motivated and am good at working under pressure.
