About
I work at the intersection of emerging markets, donor engagement, and cross-border programs.
With 10+ years of experience across Central Asia, Eastern Europe and the US, I support senior leaders and institutional donors navigating complex geopolitical and regulatory environments. My work focuses on translating strategy into structured, measurable impact and aligning diverse stakeholders around long-term social outcomes.
In addition to my institutional role, I founded Philanthropy Central Asia, a platform exploring philanthropy, culture, and influence across emerging markets. Through the Philanthropy Central Asia podcast and related advisory initiatives, I explore the development of philanthropy ecosystems in the region and engage with leaders interested in advancing social impact.
