Operational Management
Operational Management is designed for foreign companies that do not have a sufficient local presence to sustain their activities on the Russian market. The service is designed as an alternative to having a local office in Russia and focuses on solving various ad hoc and structural and long-term tasks.
Operational management covers matters such as: legal entity establishment, financial management, logistics, licensing and certification, communication with Russian partners, local operations supervision and management, sourcing and support in working with local service providers (e.g. legal and accounting), staffing solutions, supervisory directorship, business intelligence, supervision and management of local operations, participation at trade shows and conferences, secretarial and administrative support.
