About

I'm a strategist who thrives at the intersection of people and possibility.

I grew up in Brooklyn, where my family settled after immigrating from Uzbekistan. Guided by curiosity and a love of exploration, I lived in various cities around the world before landing in San Francisco in 2024. I’ll always have the New York hustle, but SF has quickly captured my soul.

I’m an adventurer at heart and a thrill-seeker by nature. I love movement, exploring the unknown, and pushing boundaries. Whether its strength training at the gym, hiking new trails or getting scuba-certified in Costa Rica, I’m always chasing the edge of what’s possible and exploring all the world has to offer.

The most meaningful part of my life is my community. I thrive in deep, honest relationships, the kind built on trust, warmth, laughter, and showing up. These values - a love for people and partnerships, a spirit of curiosity, and an appetite for adventure - have also shaped my career.

Experience

I’m a customer-centric strategist who helps teams bridge vision and execution through thoughtful product launches, scalable operations, and high-impact partnerships. I’m passionate about turning customer insights into clear strategy and working cross-functionally to drive meaningful outcomes. I thrive in roles where I can bring clarity to complexity, align teams around a shared purpose, and move ideas into action. I care deeply about building trusted relationships and creating environments where teams feel supported, empowered, and equipped to succeed. Whether working with clients or internal stakeholders, I bring intention, heart, and curiosity, with a focus on creating meaningful, lasting impact.

Over the last decade, I’ve built a career at the intersection of people, strategy, and execution, with a track record of leading high-impact projects that bridge the vision and execution through thoughtful product launches and operational scale.

Most recently, I was an Engagement Manager at Trinity Life Sciences, where I led end-to-end delivery for global life sciences clients, managed executive relationships, and oversaw high-performing teams. I partnered with clients ranging from biotech founders to big pharma leaders to define strategic roadmaps, align cross-functional teams, and ensure successful execution. I also pitched and launched a new line of business that generated $20M+ in revenue, set and tracked KPIs across engagements, and facilitated weekly leadership calls focused on pipeline, client health, and delivery priorities. Alongside this, I coached and mentored a team of consultants — supporting both their project performance and professional growth.

Before that, I completed a two-year finance leadership development program at ThermoFisher Scientific and took on roles across FP&A and strategy. I led the forecasting of full P&Ls for a $2B division, built global five-year market models to inform portfolio strategy, and regularly briefed senior leadership on key drivers of performance, market dynamics, and strategic opportunities.

For my next adventure, I’m looking for a dynamic role at a mission-driven company where I can elevate the customer voice to inform business and operational strategy, build trusted partnerships, and collaborate cross-functionally to turn ambitious ideas into real market impact.
