Hi, I am Oleg...

My Olchik calls me ‘Scherbinka?, my Mushka calls me ‘papik?. These two are the most beautiful girls in the world for me — my wife and my daughter…

I was born in spring of 1975 in a small Ukrainian town. The most challenging question I had asked myself by the age of 10, or so, was: «Why I was born in Soviet Union?» Being so young I already realized that I did not appreciate equality in a way it was imposed on us in a Soviet regime — I always felt that I could do better than just being a «put down» citizen of a pro-Communist country.

I became a student of Odessa State Economic University, Faculty of Accounting and Audit; this is where I met my future wife. When the two of us met, she was a first year student and I was only 18; we married exactly in 2 years after our first date — November 4, 1995. By that time I already been working for some time as a part time accountant, but when I asked for Olya?s hand, her father made a very good point: «So, young man, and how are you going to support your family?»

We got married and spent an unforgettable time living as a young married couple of students in a rented bachelor, with a single income of a part time accountant/student, but I was very persistent in finding a decent job — «to support my family». And I did! I got a job as a Controller in an International Construction company and I am still thankful to that Greek guy, who believed in me when I was 20 and gave me an opportunity to start my professional career. From that time I have always strived to become a partner in the world of international business. This, I guess, is where I got my second serious question «why don?t we go to another country?»
