Big fan of all sports, strong supporter of Juventus, married with Kazakh-Tatary woman with 3 kids one of just 6 months.

I’m really proud to have had the opportunity to land in Kazakhstan at the beginning of the Millennium, when the transformation of the country has just started. I came alone, with “short pants” and unconsciousness of youth. I consider myself very lucky because I have contributed since day “zero” to build up ERSAI. My biggest challenge and achievement has been the cultural change started in 2007, when all Management & workers were unlikely to wear a coverall and helmet, today we are representing the safest industrial reality in Kazakhstan, our Operational Excellence is achieved only thanks to a strong Safety Culture. My next target is to make of ERSAI the number one Contractor in the Caspian Region.
