#Career
Oksana Trubina, DSD Demand
Planning manager
Previously, I was engaged in forecasting the
company sales to ‘Megapolis’ distributor and
ensuring that we have a production plan in
line with our supply needs. However, now I am
involved in the development of direct channel sales
forecasting and analysis of the wholesale channel. Our work
is the perfect blend of interes ting professional challenges; we
have a wonderful team and an amazing office. And I almost
forgot the highlight of our team: within the I&I Department we
have periodic breakfasts with croissants and coffee at the office,
where Brice, our esteemed boss, briefs us on what is happening
at group and cluster level, and each team member shares his or
her achievements/ undertakings / reviews of his field of activity.
Life credo: Life is too short to wait.
What do you prefer to eat for breakfast? I prefer champagne
and caviar, but actually I eat oatmeal and, of course, I can’t do
without coffee.
Ekaterina Zimovets, Sales Planning Manager
I am responsible for planning the volumes in the
КА channel in the long and short-term periods
as well as for setting KAM and RSM goals. As far
as planning concerns, I’m tracking the shipment
volumes of the distributor, customer sales and
stock level. In my work, I appreciate the opportunity
to develop professionally and to accomplish my ambitions.
Life credo: There are no limits, there are only plateaus. You
shouldn’t stay on the plateau; you need to go beyond it.
What do you prefer to eat for breakfast? Coffee with milk,
dairy and whole grain products.
Dmitry Pyzhikov, Supply Planning Manager
My main task is to make a forecast of shipments
to the distributor, as well as to ensure adequate
levels of stock and that we have an appropriate
production plan for this purpose. Accordingly, all
performance indicators are set around this task: the
priority is the accuracy and relevance of the plans provided.
What I like most about my job is that it gives me a drive. If what
you do doesn’t keep you in good shape, then the progress ends.
Here it’s definitely different!
Life credo: I believe that if you want to change something global,
you need to start with yourself. If you complain that the streets
of your city are dirty,-go out and clean near your doorway. If your
favorite football club is unable to gather 15 thousand spectators
at a new stadium – buy a season ticket and show an example.
What do you prefer to eat for breakfast? The main requirement
for any breakfast is that it should be ready waiting for you on the
table. It’s not so important to have an exquisite menu; the main
thing is to save precious minutes for sleeping.
Irina Dubrovina, Performance Executive
I am responsible for processing all the commercial
information received from the distributor –
‘Megapolis’ company - and generating as well as
publishing and distributing reports for different
time periods, regions, channels and products.
I am in charge of updating and maintenaining our
SAP APO database, which is used at group level to plan our
production. – I ensure the consistency of our sales database
and continuously control and report Sales-in, Sales-out, as well
as stock levels at the factory and the distributor. To date, we
have developed an orderly and accessible system for providing
data to the company’s stakeholders to efficiently track our
performance and make accurate decisions.
Life credo: Everything will be fine.
What do you prefer to eat for breakfast? The same that was
for dinner but it should be definitely with meat.
