Bio
Varvara Latyntseva
We worked with Yana in 2011 on relocation process for Lenovo employees to Moscow - and even long time passed since than - can certainly say that on that project great collaboration was in place! it was one of the projects where everything was arranged very efficiently and as straight forward as it possible, despite all complexity of international relocation with number of services providers involved and in many way thats thanks to Yana's ability to guide and coordinate all parties involved )

When Yana joined Sony HR team in 2007 she quickly managed to cover all HR administration paperwork for 230+ employees. In 2008 Yana created clear manuals for managers to use internal HR software, helping to optimize monthly salary calculation process. Since 2009 Yana successfully conducted onboarding sessions for newcomers (including expats). Being responsible for corporate employee’s insurance administration, she provided significant help with conducting corporate tenders for life and health insurance. I would recommend Yana Sokolova as keen HR professional and excellent communicator, who is passionate about her job and capable to work in fast-changing environment.
