From Unconfident, Penniless Girl in Russia to Confident, Successful, Multi-Award-Winning Senior Manager in London

Alina Timofeeva is a multi-award winning woman in technology; a Senior manager in KPMG, moving to Oliver Wyman as an Associate Partner later this summer. Being introverted by nature, Alina has used dedication and power of actions to develop from an unconfident, non-talkative penniless girl in Russia into a successful multi-award winning  business woman in London.  Not only did she have to adapt to a new culture and strange country when she moved to the UK, she had to overcome her lack of confidence, learn to speak up more, be visible and raise her profile. Having had 497 out of 500 unsuccessful job applications when wanting to move to the UK, Alina has been promoted 4 times in less than 4 years. She shares her advice on what helped her achieve success, and how she is helping those who are coming up behind her.
