Dear friends and colleagues… and future friends!
I moved to Orange County from Florida four months ago, and I would like to be involved in projects and activities in the capacity that I do best — launching projects, programs, events, and different initiatives. I have huge experience in launching projects in business, government, research, and international organizations, and I truly enjoy this process. I also have some unique qualities and capabilities that help me launch faster and better than anyone else.
What I Do Best
I have experience with all stages of launching projects — strategy, ideation, research, resource development, marketing, planning, execution, operations, partnerships, scaling, and much more.
And when necessary, I can do all tasks by myself. I’m happy to delegate and work in teams, but when needed, I can work independently, very promptly, and literally around the clock:
- creating websites, apps, and media
- collecting and analyzing data
- writing proposals and pitching projects
- launching marketing campaigns and SMM
- hosting stakeholder meetings
- planning events
- measuring performance
- and basically everything else that needs to be done
And when I say “quickly,” I mean quickly. I can collect and analyze primary data from a thousand customers in 24 hours. I can develop and launch an app, prototype, online course, or experiment in a day. I can organize and fill a mid-size event in a week — when it’s necessary.
My Qualities
I also have a unique combination of personal qualities (sorry for the “high words,” but I’ve proven many times that they really matter 😊):
- I am extremely creative — trained intentionally for many years. I even have a dedicated day every week (Sunday) when I don’t eat for 24 hours but just brainstorm, generate, and develop ideas.
- I am extremely prompt — often many times faster than most people, especially now when I can collaborate across three screens with GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Python, and many others.
- I am very strategic — always keeping long-term goals in mind.
- I am very analytical — constantly building models, patterns, and frameworks everywhere.
- I am highly stress-resilient — and I actually feel I thrive under pressure and tight deadlines.
- And yes, I am very reliable — I keep promises and never miss deadlines. Sometimes this excessive reliability is not ideal for me personally, but it is part of my personality, and I cannot change it.
If you know any organization or stakeholder who needs prompt, qualified, active help with launching projects in Orange County… or in Los Angeles, San Diego, or anywhere in California, I would appreciate your help in sharing this post.
Achievements
What else should I add?
- I have all possible advanced education — from an MBA, economics, strategic management, data analytics, to cognitive neuroscience, and a Ph.D. from a top-ranked program. Though I understand that nowadays this might be less important than real capabilities.
- I have multiple awards — national best business event award, national innovation award, National Outstanding People award, best project awards, outstanding paper awards, multidisciplinary research awards, and others.
- I have hundreds of publications — top international scientific journals, industry magazines, a dozen books, presentations, over 100,000 reads and views, and over a thousand citations.
I strongly value practical outcomes. I like tangible, visible impact. I am very challenge-oriented and competitive, and it’s easy to motivate me to work even without compensation when the project is challenging, significant, and impactful.
My Background
My background includes:
- CEO, partner, and founder in large and small businesses
- Government leadership as Director of the Business Development Administration
- Development and leadership of the largest stage-gate innovation and startup pipelines
- President, national president, and board chair in international organizations
- Leadership of global research initiatives with 26 countries involved
- Organization of 300+ major business events — innovation forums, investment forums, career days, boat shows, millionaire fairs, trade shows, conferences, etc.
And when I say “organized” or “led,” I mean I fully owned these projects from ideation to execution and served as the lead stakeholder for all of them.
Where I Am Now
Recently, I moved with my family from Florida to Orange County. We settled in Ladera Ranch. Over these few months, I have developed several small initiatives here, including AI accelerator and business accelerator projects, as well as organized the OC Kids Expo, in case you’ve seen it.
But I would like to be deeply involved in launching many more significant projects here — accelerators, startups, government programs, nonprofit initiatives, apps, events, anything that requires building from zero.
And I kindly ask for your help in sharing my message.
I am seeking challenging projects where I can be actively involved in launching. I am always happy to be tested, challenged, or involved without compensation to prove my value and verify everything I’ve written.
Outside of Work
Just a few personal notes — simply to show that I am not a robot and that I do enjoy life beyond launching projects 😊:
- I love everything related to children’s development — activities, events, contests, educational programs. That’s why I organized the Orange County Kids Expo and kids’ business initiatives.
- I love the ocean — boats, sailing, having designed and produced my own boats, raced, and even crossed the ocean.
- I love mountains and sky — skiing, snowboarding, hiking, painting mountains, and piloting aircraft.
- I love all active things — bicycling, swimming, tennis, running, exercising, and many more.
- And certainly travel — visited 60 countries, stayed in hundreds of hotels, did many tourism research projects, and more. I especially love national parks, boats, RVs, and everything connected to nature.
So, again — if you, your organization, or your friends are planning to launch anything, please share my information and help promote my appeal.
I respond to all emails and all questions, and I’m willing to meet in person and discuss projects. I don’t like virtual meetings, so I’m always ready to drive or fly to meet and discuss ideas or initiatives.
