Summary: Seven years of research experience in particle physics theory. Course work experience in empirical and theoretical finance. Strong analytical and quantitative skills, proven interpersonal and leadership skills, biased for action and success personality.

Why business/ Why Mc Cartney? Although I enjoy solving theoretical physics problems, I do not feel entire satisfied. I sense that although technically very complex, work as theoretical physicist does not challenge me enough in other areas in which my skills may be of use. My experience in business although limited in scope, has given me a flavor of the complexities of the problem which business world encounters. As a problem-solver by education and vocation, I strongly believe that your company is one of the best places to learn how to solve these complex both practical and rewarding problems. There is also a very personal note for my interest in your company. From a friend of mine, who was interviewed with Mc Cartney last year, I have learned about the creative approach to interviewing your company practice. I feel that is something I would very much like to experience first hand.

Geographic Preferences I would like to work in any of the American offices of McCartney Company. However, I have slight preference for the New York City or Chicago areas because I enjoy very much their dynamic atmosphere and the feeling of life. Although, my interest in finance makes these two cities even more attractive to me.

index model, optimal portfolios, hedging, Black– Sholes

options pricing model, market inefficiencies and arbitrage

pricing model.

1990– present     Brown University, Providence, RI

Research Assistant, Applied Physics Department, High

Energy Theory Group.

Found a new class of the exactly solvable Fokker-Planck

Hamiltonians. Developed a non-critical string field

perturbation theory. Proposed and analyzed a generalization

of the Planck’s Radiation Law.

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.
