Irina is a diligent, highly organised leader. Her operational abilities are outstanding. Adapting her skill set to suit a steady or fast paced environment, Irina has the ability to drive complex projects. During her retail career at Harrods, she was able to oversee and manage these with careful planning, attention to detail and endless focus. Irina was able to build relationships with vendors and strategically negotiate business costs to benefit the needs of her division. Trustworthy and reliable, I would recommend Irina to deliver results and exceed expectations.
