Team Work:
July 1994 New Staffordshire College, Vermont, VT
Coordinator, Coalition for Essential School Program
The idea behind the program was to enable hogh school
teachers to work in groups without a formal person in charge.
I have coordinated the work of a group of 12 teachers,
investigated the group dynamics and conflict resolution
methods, suggested possible directions of research, helped
integrate several small projects into one final exhibition.
1989-1990 Lexis Ltd., Moscow, Russia
As a part of the team of 7 which made up Lexis Ltd., I
worked with four different client (a power plant, a glass
factory and two steel mills) in Russian Federation on
improving their Quality Control procedures and technology.
Lexis Ltd. favours a complete problem solution method: a
team of expert would visit the prospective client, inspect the
facilities, suggest a solution, deliver the appropriate equipment
and provide the necessary training for the technical personnel.
My responsibilities included finding the prospective clients,
meeting with the top management of the prospective client
companies and developing the marketing strategy of
Lexis Ltd.
Initiative/Leadership:
In fall of 1989 together with a group of colleagues of mine I established Lexis Ltd. While in Moscow as a undergraduate I have learned from business people and engineers about the urgent needs, especially in steel and glass industry for highly precise pyrometers and other measurement equipment. The old western equipment, imported in seventies, was outdated and very expensive to be replaced. I knew that one my old classmate, a foremost expert in the field of metrology, could deliver less expensive equipment than their western counterparts. Also, at the time, the federal government eased the regulations on forming private companies. So, I suggested to colleagues of mine to establish our own company to solve the measurement problems in industry using the complete problem solution approach described above. To persuade them I put forward the following risk-averse proposal: we keep our secure University’s positions while working part-time for Lexis and invest the intellectual property only (10 patents ad know-how). During one year of my vice-presidency, Lexis became established a solid business reputation as a company with its innovative approach to measurement problems solving.
