Business leader, Entrepreneur, Sales specialist, Student, World traveler

I am a business development professional from Uzbekistan with a passion for connecting people, ideas, and opportunities across borders. My work focuses on international education, aviation, business development, and strategic partnerships. Over the past few years, I have organised academic events, built collaborations with universities around the world, and worked in the travel industry helping businesses and professionals access global opportunities. Beyond my professional work, I enjoy exploring how innovation, entrepreneurship, and education can solve real-world problems. I believe meaningful conversations have the power to create lasting impact, which is why I have been actively involved in the TED community as a TEDxWIUT co-founder and a volunteer at TEDxOxford.

Talent exists everywhere, but access does not. Whether through education, entrepreneurship, or international collaboration, we should focus on creating systems that allow capable people to compete globally regardless of geography.

My journey began with TEDxWIUT, where I helped organise events that brought together speakers from different industries to share ideas that inspire action. Later, volunteering at TEDxOxford allowed me to experience one of the world's most respected TED events while working alongside people from many different backgrounds.

I enjoy identifying opportunities that others overlook, whether that means building partnerships between organisations, solving logistical challenges, or finding creative ways to turn ambitious ideas into practical projects.
