Introduction of myself
By Alena Krasnopeeva
2. I was born in Siberia, where there are a lot of friendly people and many
natural resources. And Yes, during winter time it is freezing (-20 to -40
degrees), however during summer time it gets up to between +20 to
+40
3. When I turned 1 year old, my parents and I moved to
Nakhodka, 4 hours from Vladivostok by car (side of Asia). This
is where I spent most of my childhood.
4. At the age of 17, I moved to St. Petersburg to study economics and
business management for 5 years. While being there, I got a good
chance to explore the architecture and attractions. That city really has
a lot to offer!
5. Here is the map of how I moved throughout my life in Russia.
By the way, the distance between Vladivostok and St.
Petersburg is approx. 9000 km.
Did you know that Vladivostok and Melbourne are located on
the time zone?
6. After studying, I moved back to Vladivostok and started my carrier as
an accountant in a company which specializes in construction of
roads and house foundations.
7. • Job commenced in 2003 as an accountant to Spetstechnika
• Sells new and restored heavy machinery equipment from Japan.
• Started with three management staff and some employees, in 7
years employed more than 100 staff.
• Key Roles:
Financial Director – Financial Management
Commercial Director – production aspects
About the company
8. • In 2003, I took on a role as an accountant
• Took the initiative to build and establish new processes,
which included bookkeeping, accounting, marketing,
secretarial, human resources and advertising.
• Social activities to bring the team spirit together also fell
under my initiative.
• The Financial Director (FD) and Commercial Director
(CD) were responsible for all financial and production
aspects accordingly.
About my role in the Company
9. • This is why I was sent to Sydney, to study the language and then
commerce.
In 2009, my company decided to bring foreign investors into business
and become a distributor of Komatsu in Russia on the Eastern side. In
order to achieve that, they had to make financial statements
transparent with compliance of international standards.
In 2003, I took on a role as an accountant to establish a new company called Spetstechnika Pty Ltd (www.dvs1971.ru), which exists today and operates in Russia. The company sells new and restores heavy building machinery equipment from Japan as second hand. The establishment of the company took a lot of planning and leading one self within a constantly changing environment. The company started very small (3 management staff including myself) and due to the initial size, each of us were required to take the initiative to build and establish new processes, which included bookkeeping, accounting, marketing, secretarial, human resources and advertising. Social activities to bring the team spirit together also fell under my initiative.
The Financial Director (FD) and Commercial Director (CD) were responsible for all financial and production aspects accordingly. After the first few major contracts, the morale within the company grew and there was enough security and optimism to recruit a new team and by the 7th year we had grown to more than 100 employees with a substantial portfolio of inventory goods and a very well know brand within the Russian market and other close border countries.
