When I was little I wanted to be a journalist-stripper. No kidding. Thinking back, that is a pretty accurate resume of growing up in the 90s in the Balkans. For better or worse I ended up as neither of those two.

Today I am working on MarkUpgrade.com and SmartBranding.com, with a mission to help entrepreneurs make better choices when it comes to their brands online.

I am interested in entrepreneurship with all its joys and pains, technology and how it affects our lives, names, company naming and domains as brand assets. Happy to help with thoughts and ideas on any of those topics to anyone with serious interest.

Married to a sexy frenchman, have 4 kids, a doberman and most recently a floppy eared wonder of a kitten called Odesa. I’ve been running trails for the past 3 years (if you look at the scars on my legs you’d say it’s the past 30, my stripping career would be over, good job I didn’t opt for that). I like painting and sing in a Ukrainian choir.

I was born in Crimea, Ukraine. Support Ukraine.
