I am a public affairs and international development consultant with over eight years of experience advising governments, international organisations, and private sector stakeholders across Uzbekistan and Central Asia.
I currently serve as Senior GR Advisor at Aretera Public Affairs, providing strategic counsel to multinational clients navigating the region's political, regulatory, and business environments.
Prior to this, I was a key member of USAID's Trade Central Asia Activity, a regional programme supporting Uzbekistan and its neighbours in building trade resilience and deepening economic integration. In that role, I coordinated trade facilitation and export promotion initiatives, facilitated over $40 million in export contracts, and supported Uzbekistan's WTO accession process alongside international and local expert consultants.
I have also worked as a local consultant for the OECD, supporting projects focused on competition and antimonopoly reform, environmental and water resilience, sustainable infrastructure investment, and climate mitigation and adaptation in Uzbekistan.
Earlier in my career, I worked at Uzbekistan's Ministry of Investments and Foreign Trade, where I was directly involved in some of the country's most significant economic reforms, including improving Uzbekistan's standing in international business rankings, co-organising the first Tashkent International Investment Forum, and supporting the Foreign Investors Council under the President of Uzbekistan.
I combine deep institutional knowledge with hands-on delivery, and work fluently in Uzbek, English, and Russian.
