  1. During the 5 years at Sber, I followed the path from the beginning of digital AI transformation in Sberbank to Sber as the leading AI company in Russia
  2. I developed Data Science management in Finance from scratch, with resulting AI impact of up to 15-20 billion rubles per year and implementation of AI in 80% of all processes in the Finance function
  3. Finance Data Science team with 60 members (Data Scientists/Analysts, ML/Data Engineers) successfully developed and implemented dozens of ML solutions in the areas of advanced analytics, pricing, NPV/CLTV measurement, forecasting, asset-liability management, dynamic balance sheet management, product structuring, process mining, document processing, smart assistants and more.
I believe that this is a very valuable experience for companies in Russia and around the world, unique in many ways, and very useful for companies looking to leverage the potential of AI technology for their business.
As a graduate of the New Economic School, Master of Economics'2007 and Moscow State University'2007, Department of Physics, I have built my knowledge and experience in management and data science on the solid foundations of science, mathematics, economics and finance.

I value sharing my expertise openly, which is why I teach in digital transformation training programs at SBER College and mentor and coach DS and DS teams.
