I joined Black Bears in 2019 as an investor.
But the team’s performance looked so inspiring to me that I couldn't remain
just a passive observer.
And I got involved.
Black Bears is not about business only.
This is also the development of local
technical education, job opportunities
for students, and creating an urban
technological cluster.
Our Teddy Bears - that’s the way we affectionately refer to our project as well as to the invaluable people who work in there.
I participate in strategy development, business
model optimisation, and marketing planning.
I am expanding business network, and constantly working on brand promotion.
What else- I focus on IT-recruitment and educating our employees.
A startup grown into a thriving
international company in a few years.
A business based on the principles
of partnership, transparency,
and fairness.
Real win-win for all
who participate.

Today I am a member
of the Partners Council,

profitability, and development.
I am also involved in Supply Chain
management, development
of legal documents, and optimisation

The experience turned out to be successful, and now we have nineteen pizzerias in six cities in our network. Some of them we have built ourselves, while others were acquired from fellow franchisees.
Managing pizzerias located
thousands of kilometres apart in
different cities is challenging.
Growth at that pace is possible
due to a strong franchise,
and the cohesive work of the team.
I bought a pizzeria online: personal experience of a major deal without seeing a seller even once
My interview to Sberbank ReadMy main duty remains to be a building a strong team capable of managing a network remotely over a distance of more than 6000 kilometers.
And it seems that I have succeeded in this role - the management system is in place, while I focus on other projects.
Nevertheless, I always keep my finger on the pulse and monitor our development and key performance indicators.
The plans are to build 4 more pizza restaurants, and to establish production and distribution centres in each city of presence.
Despite COVID-19 and other disruptions, we are growing confidently, and our average like-for-like (LFL) for the past 3 years never dropped below 30%.
