ABOUT ANASTASIA BELOVA

Whether you’re working with me as a leader or meeting in an out of work experience, you’re in a safe pair of hands. I receive this feedback from my teammates and my clients that they do feel taken care of. The first thing I think about when I meet new people is how to give them a sense of belonging and comfort to share their thoughts ahead of any agenda we have. Both with a new friend or a client acquaintance, I share my story as well as my recent experiences of studying, skiing, dining, learning languages, traveling, and hosting unforgettable events for friends and colleagues. We would have a cup of tea and, once we would find common ground, we would not notice how we switch over to a sincere, friendly conversation about the things we are passionate or concerned about. Across my career, I transitioned from being an investment-focused to a consulting path. I progressed from being an investment analyst to a strategy consultant and, finally, Project Director and Partner in a boutique consulting firm. I have led diverse teams from 5+ countries to close VC deals, negotiations, as well as corporate strategy advice. When I was an investment analyst, I mastered my technical skills to prepare better analyses. I was passionate about my projects, inspired lawyers to meet deadlines for our deals, and had all-nighters to get everything ready for signing in the morning. Later, in my consultant roles, I concentrated on developing my communication skills to build supportive, open relationships in the teams of colleagues, clients, and external experts. I am motivated and proud that my work created successful projects for my clients and my team, and that I continue to have trust-based relationships with them. I have deepened and broadened my business knowledge through my MBA at the University of Oxford thriving in a diverse class of 300+ high-talent individuals drawn from 50+ countries and every sector and role. Looking ahead, I am seeking high-impact global projects as a consultant in a firm with a clear vision of how together we can change the post-pandemic world based in the center of the action. I am confident I have a unique proposition to offer to a new employer by leveraging my 12 years of professional experience, my learnings from Oxford, and my passion for my clients’ success.
