FEDOR VERGUS

“In 2013, I co-founded GLOBAL RUSSIA with my business partner. I value clarity in planning, execution and numbers, and make sure every project delivers memorable experiences and exceptional client service. I’ve travelled to 50+ countries. I’m passionate about skiing and kitesurfing, spending time with my daughters Arina and Anna, cooking and red wine.”

MIKHAIL MERKULOV

“Probably the most athletic MICE & Travel professional in the world — a marathon runner and IRONMAN. I bring creativity and fresh thinking to every challenge, while always staying focused on precision and results.
I believe travel is one of the best things life has to offer. I’ve visited 35+ countries. Most of all, I love spending time with my children, Maxim and Sofia.”

YULIA BELYAKOVA

“I’m fluent in Chinese and English and love discovering new countries and cultures. For me, travel is not only a way to explore the world, but also an opportunity to see how the global business landscape is evolving. Another passion of mine is cross-country skiing — it helps me stay focused and build endurance.”

DARYA SAVELYEVA

“I’ve been creating events for more than 15 years. For me, it’s a calling rather than just a job. I believe truly exceptional events are born from a combination of professionalism and genuine passion for what you do.
I’m originally from Russia’s Far East,
and my greatest source of inspiration is nature — mountains, the sea and forests.”

MARIA POMAZANOVA

“I’ve been fortunate to visit 48 countries
and deliver events in 27 cities. I approach every project as if it were my first — with the same excitement, passion and energy. I’m inspired by museum spaces and great food. From time to time, I swap work for skiing or playing the accordion — and I love to sing, both solo and in a choir. I love life.”

KRISTINA VASILYEVA

“Being genuine in everything I do is the principle I live and work by. I love getting into the details and finding original solutions. I treat every event as if it were my own. Outside work, I’m passionate about art, photography and dance. For me, life is about creativity and finding beauty in the world around us.”

YULIA SANINA

“I was born and raised in Siberia, so I know first-hand what genuine hospitality means. I love travelling, often solo and with just the essentials. I believe content should always come before form, so when developing event concepts, I start with three questions: who is it for, what is it about and why does it matter — and only then move on to how it should look and feel.”

EKATERINA ZAITSEVA

“I combine my passion for visual arts with an ability to turn ideas into practical solutions. People remain at the heart of my work — those who genuinely share GR’s philosophy. I practise yoga and paint. I believe travel reveals new sides of who we are, and those discoveries are the most valuable thing we bring home.”

YANA BUKREEVA

“I’m responsible for keeping our office comfortable, organised and running smoothly, with attention to the details that make every working day easier. Outside work, I enjoy walking and staying active. I love discovering new cultures, and a recent trip to Japan reminded me just how inspiring it can be to see the world from a different perspective.”
