Path

How I got here.

Key milestones — from the first project to an AI system that runs a company.

2005 — 2016
Started in industrial construction

First projects, first mistakes. The realization that financial management of a project is not bookkeeping — it is the architecture of the result.

2008
First real estate investment

Co-investor in an office center. Moving from managing other people's money to managing my own — a different level of responsibility and a different understanding of risk.

2016 — 2022
39 Moscow cinemas

Renovation of a cinema chain across Moscow: dozens of parallel sites, 450,000 m², weekly reporting to the investor.

2022 — 2024
An IT platform for construction

Took part in building a BIM-based digital construction management platform — a product for developers and builders.

2024 — now
A hotel complex and a school in Sochi

Development of a premium hotel complex (27,000 m²) and an 800-seat school built to the «Sirius» standard, with bank project finance.

2026 — now
An AI twin of a development company

A digital construction office, an analytics center and a board of advisors: an AI system working inside the company's daily loop.

Track record

What I am proud of.

Every project is a story. Every story is a result.

Expertise

How I can help.

01AI Driven CFOI build an AI-driven finance function for your business: a part-time CFO plus an AI team — model, bank, reporting, control. No headcount added.
02Credit scoring and deal packagingScoring first — a fast verdict: will the bank take the project and what to strengthen. Then packaging for the credit committee: model, document set, term sheet, negotiation strategy. Driven to a decision.
03Investment project auditAn independent assessment of a project's financial health: a risk map, loss points, recommendations. Facts, not opinions.
04Smart business model analysisUnit economics, break-even points, scenarios, stress tests — in an interactive model with levers, not a static spreadsheet. The answer to «is this project viable» — in numbers you can turn.
05A digital office and an AI teamA virtual office for a construction company: an AI team working 24/7 — project management, finance, control, reporting.
06An AI-driven board of directorsA seat on your board or advisory board — together with a digital board: expert AI roles for the functions and domain of your industry. Regular owner-level reviews of financial and strategic decisions, each grounded in data.
Lessons

What eight projects taught me.

The mistakes that made me stronger.

Lesson 01
Overestimated demand — bought without pre-leasing

I counted on 85% occupancy in year one. Reality came in far lower: I had not run pre-lease marketing before the deal.

No investment project starts without confirmed demand.
Lesson 02
Scaled the team faster than the processes

I hired for the growing volume without a management system. Chaos, duplication, loss of control — I had to stop and build processes from scratch.

Processes first, people second. A system scales; charisma does not.
Lesson 03
A budget without scenarios is not a budget

I built a model with a single scenario. The market shifted — and the model was useless within a week.

Every model carries three scenarios and a stress test. The rule has never failed.
Lesson 04
Technology without process is money wasted

We rolled out a BIM system without redesigning the processes around it. The team kept working the old way, and the system became one more report nobody read.

Process first, then the tool. Otherwise the tool becomes one more problem.
