Hello, I'm Arina K.
Growth executive and platform builder with a track record of scaling operations, transforming legacy systems, and leading complex, multi-country businesses through inflection points. I’ve built and led tech-enabled, infrastructure-intensive platforms across sectors like logistics, agri-food, industrials, and global trade—guiding strategic growth, market entry, and operational transformation in highly regulated environments. I started my career as a founder, launching and scaling businesses in logistics and agri-food—sectors where operations are messy, margins are tight, and trust is earned on the ground. That hands-on phase shaped how I lead today: pragmatic, fast-moving, and focused on building systems that scale. Over time, I transitioned into corporate leadership, where I’ve delivered 3X regional revenue growth, led platform-wide transformations that drove 6X EBIT improvement, and achieved 35% cost reductions through digital strategy and structural redesign. I’ve also executed $100M+ in global M&A and secured over $20M in venture funding. My work spans 45 countries, with teams of 500+, and centers on platform-based business models designed for sustainable growth across borders. I bring a global view, but I stay close to the work—always building for long-term value and real-world impact.
