One unusual story of a self-made expat and more

From Russia, to Istanbul, to Dubai and the whole world.

discovering ME

Homegrown.
“From Russia with love”

I grow up in a small Russian town. A kid from an intellectual family, I study hard but always want more from life. I join the most prominent volunteering organization and progress to the federal trainer and head of a local branch. I travel across Russia, give trainings to volunteers.

Later, volunteering brings me to an international project in Mexico, where I learn what I eventually want. I want to be international. Want to become global.

International student encountering worlds

At the age of 22, I move to Istanbul, Turkey. I continue studying and finishing an MBA. As an exchange student, I go to Europe to study business and continue building my network of international friends.

Istanbul gives me an opportunity to first dive into the corporate world with some of the biggest multinationals. I fall in love with this world and move to Dubai.

When in doubt, choose change.

UAE, corporate, and beyond

A couple of first tough years in the UAE, and I am an HR Manager at one of the biggest multinationals in the world. I business travel across the Middle East, go for a team building to Malaysia, have evening calls with Latin America, and start career coaching students and professionals.

I stay in HR but change companies, only to realize I am ready to change course.

Founder and scholar

Passion for academia never disappears, so I move back to being a scholar. I study anthropology and aspire to grow in this field.

Career coaching continues, and I see the value I bring to people. I marry science with business and found ACIOTA™, a scientific assessment for Personal Brand success in the corporate world.

I speak at events, schools, and universities about HR, Personal Brand, corporate career progression, and cultural awareness.

What people say about working with me

Had an opportunity to have career goals-setting trainings with Angelina. A must-have training for those who:

Not sure about the employment one is looking for / Not confident enough for future interviews / Looking for career goals setting and boosting one’s confidence.

Angelina is very professional and teaches you how to know your value and set up your career goals in a correct manner.

Elena, UAE

Angelina is an attentive listener with an individual professional style. She will definitely help to not only build the personal brand to propel in your career but first of all to understand personal values and how they translate into one’s brand. She has great empathy and talent to let everyone trust and be open. Thats what make meetings with her very special und magical.
