Svetlana Efimova
Chief Executive Officer

I started my career in media at the age of 17 and, after a brief period, shifted my focus to the event industry. With over a decade in the field, my experiences have shaped my vision for the company I desire to lead a space with an international team and an open-minded environment, collaborating across different cultures, countries, and sectors. Having worked in the UK and Europe, I broadened my horizons to the MENA region. The region's innovation-oriented culture and supportive environment fuel and make achievable my goal-oriented efforts. Working in the MENA region has given me the confidence to turn the 'impossible' into reality, take affordable risks for growth, and aim for the best. Today, I'm managing a company that embraces diversity, innovation, creativity, and excellence.

I began my career in the event industry by organizing private events, including birthdays, corporate events and weddings. Event management has always been my passion, even during my college years. After starting my professional career, I quickly transitioned to larger projects with higher budgets, such as cosmetic industry events and car launches. The most significant difference in this industry is experiencing the tangible results of your efforts at the end of each event. Despite the tiredness, stress, and substantial effort involved, there's always a sense of relief, accomplishment, and gratitude. I believe it's the perfect industry for showcasing my well-organized, flexible, and responsible personality.

Operations Manager

I have 18 years of experience as a logistics and operation manager in a desert experience company. In my previous role, I worked with limited resources, overcame challenging infrastructures, and navigated constraints. Due to the confined nature of my prior position with only a few venues, I was inspired to broaden my expertise on a larger scale. I appreciate and enjoy the diversity of the event industry, collaborating with suppliers from various fields, cultures, and industries. Event management and logistics not only enable me to explore new experiences but also provide a platform to utilize my strong planning and negotiation skills.

I've worked in diverse event sectors, from hotels to major sports events like UEFA EURO 2012. With experience in Egypt, Europe, and the GCC, I've enhanced my international event management skills. In the hotel sector, I realized that being in just one place wasn't enough for me. I wanted to be fully involved in event organizing from A to Z, in different locations, different types of events and with a variety of people. This desire led me to where I am today. In my current role, I enjoy meeting new people, learning from our clients, working with different sectors, and generating creative ideas. My job fuels my curiosity, encourages straightforward communication, and keeps me positive as I follow my passion.
