Why Moving Without Shaking? My international journey began in 1999 when I moved from an industrial city in South Eastern Ukraine to the US, straight to the heart of Silicon Valley, California, to study for an MBA. Today, my global experience covers living and working in the US, Switzerland, the UK, Tanzania and Singapore. Curious how it adds up across countries? I have * worked in 34 * traveled in 47 * got a formal university degree in 3 * lived in 6 My international career has been in technology sales and business operations. I have now started my portfolio career as a fractional COO, supporting tech founders, as well as serving as a board member/NED. One key thing I have learned: all successful global moves have a great support structure, be it sponsors, mentors, coaches, friends or family. I hope this book will help you make better decisions and build your own exciting and fulfilling expat life. Enjoy! I am also currently working on the Ukrainian language translation, using my long forgotten skillset, and hope to release it in the fall of 2022.
