Moscow-Russia

Moscow is where I built my first international consultancy, Rufil Russia Consulting, and where I spent nearly two decades on the ground. Although I sold the firm in 2022 to new ownership, I remain its founder and maintain a close, supportive relationship with the company. Today, I use this deep-rooted network and my 20 years of experience to help clients navigate the Russian market with precision.

A Bridge Between Cultures

I moved to Moscow in the mid-2000s and built my business from the ground up. Over the years, I have seen myself not just as a consultant, but as an ambassador and bridge-builder between people and cultures. Having witnessed the market’s evolution through various cycles, I know exactly how to apply “German Reliability” in complex environments. This isn’t just about history; it’s about a legacy of trust and having the right localized knowledge when it matters most.

What I Do: Strategic Support and Crisis Management

I don’t just provide advice; I provide solutions. My focus is on international clients who require absolute precision and a partner who understands both European expectations and Russian reality.

• Business Set-Up & Management: I assist with the structural foundation, incorporation, and ongoing leadership of your business operations.

• Interim Management: For companies in transition or facing specific challenges, I can step in as a temporary Managing Director (CEO) to ensure stability and professional oversight.

• On-Site Problem Solving: When complications arise locally—whether legal, economic, or administrative—I act as an experienced problem solver with a strong physical presence to resolve them efficiently.

• Compliance & Strategy: Ensuring that every operation meets the highest standards of transparency while navigating the unique local landscape.

Because Moscow Still Matters

The global landscape has shifted, but Moscow remains a significant economic center. My physical presence there since 2007 has given me a perspective that few others can match. I know the people, I know the culture, and I know how to get results in this market without unnecessary talk.
