Irina is a strong and empathetic leader, a strategist who challenges the status quo, an effective multilingual communicator, and an all around good person.

Irina has a demonstrated track record of having the vision for the long-game while being skilled at determining the tactics to bring that vision to life. She works well across all levels of an organization, managing up/across/down, as needed. She successfully drove several programs that spanned three continents and multiple time-zones.
