Director of Operational Transformation / COO

System Integration · Russia · Moscow

Total compensation band $180K+. The figure is the member's band, not an offer.

This executive is a Moscow-based operations and transformation leader who rose through the System Integration group of companies from engineering roles to full P&L ownership and, most recently, to leading operational transformation for a 50+ billion ruble business unit reporting directly to the CEO. Over 15+ years this leader has combined deep system-integration delivery experience (federal-scale infrastructure projects worth 10+ billion rubles) with a systematic approach to diagnosing hidden operational losses and converting them into managed investments. Recent work centers on AI-driven automation of engineering and pre-sale documentation, cutting preparation cycles from weeks to hours, alongside building cross-functional governance structures (a Development Committee) to scale decision-making beyond the CEO. This executive holds an Executive MBA and is recognized through government honors, published thought leadership in HBR Russia and Vedomosti, and a strong track record of building and later responsibly sunsetting new business lines (AR/VR).
