Bio
Olga B.
As a sell side Equity Research Analyst for Russian Telecom Sector, I worked with Masha when she ran IR departments at Comstar UTS and Rostelecom. She had an impeccable knowledge of the industry and the companies she represented. She was very knowledgeable of the processes within those companies and always had strong relationships with the top management. She also had very strong relationships with and knowledge of her 'clients' - Investors, analysts, traders, media, globally. I found Masha to be strategically oriented, organized, dedicated, reliable, always looking to improve her role and implement best practices. Although I knew her in the role of Investor Relations, I always found her more knowledgable about the business and more strategically oriented than this role would imply. I would strongly recommend Masha for any strategic role.

I worked together with Masha when I was CEO of Comstar UTS, a complex company just coming out of an IPO. She was partnering with me in all our contacts with the investment community, roadshows, presentations, quarterly results conference calls etc. I found her very loyal, reliable and communicative. She is not only well focused on her direct responsibilities but is ready to be helpful to the company overall. We worked many times together including outside office hours, and I found her always available, ready to help. This with very critical shareholders which demanded 24-7 availability. She is capable of multitasking, keeping in mind numerous projects at the same time. Open minded and keen to find out and implement worldwide best practices. Creative in working out solutions to all issues. I would recommend Masha for any strategic job where the value of your company is depending on the right people.

I contacted with Masha for the first time in the fixed-line operator Comstar-UTS, where she built two-way relationships with sell-side analysts. Her commitment to shareholder value creation via IR activity contribution had been one of the most vivid on the market. Full of enthusiasm, very dedicated to improve investors' perception of the Company although keeping a balance and targeting mutually beneficial communication with the investment society. She was always helpful with the earnings results and press release follow-up, roadshows arrangements, conferences and site-visits. Masha also brought IR function in Rostelecom to a new level during the vulnerable Svyazinvest/Rostelecom reorganisation times. She kept the overall tricky reorganization procedure in mind as well as the most important details of the deal.
