I grew up in Saint Petersburg Russia and moved to US when I was 16 years old.
My parents were self-made business people so I thought that’s what I should do too.
In college I decide to major in Business Administration. I graduated arguably at the worst time - 2008.
Time when US economy lost 2.6 million jobs.
And here I was, another college grad with a degree in General Business.
Without a clear idea for a career I “fell” into sales. Technology was always my passion and my first job working at Apple was something I really enjoyed.
Over the years I tried myself at other sales jobs moving from retail to inside sales to outside sales and finally regional account manager.
