Attachée Privée
International Expansion Director

Helping your company set up and grow in the United States.

I work directly with founders and executives who want to bring their business into the United States. I build the plan and I carry it out myself — the meetings, the negotiations, the introductions — in English, Russian, or Polish.

What I Do

What working with me actually looks like

Planning

A Real Plan for the U.S. Market

I look at your business and the U.S. market together, and build a plan around what's actually true: who your customers would be here, who you'd be competing with, and what it will really take to compete. Works the same way whether you sell software, machinery, food, clothing, or anything else.

In Person

I Show Up to the Meetings

I go to the meetings. I sit in the negotiations. I make the introductions. I'm the person actually in the room helping things happen — not someone emailing you advice from a distance.

Range

Not Limited to One Sector

I've worked directly in luxury retail with high-net-worth clients, and I've handled sourcing and manufacturing conversations in Turkey and Russia. That range is the point — the same attention goes into your business, whatever it is.

One Contact

You Work With Me, Not a Team

You have one person handling your project from the first conversation to the finished result — not a different rep every time you call, and not a big firm passing you around.

One honest limit: I'm not a lawyer, accountant, or immigration consultant, and I don't act like one. When your move to the U.S. needs one of them — setting up your company, handling visas, or filing taxes — you hire that person directly, and I make sure everything stays coordinated around them. That said, I do have trusted partners I'm happy to recommend for exactly this kind of work.

Companies Expanding to the U.S.

Opening a U.S. office, launching a U.S. product, or starting to sell here for the first time.

Founders & Executives

Who want someone helping them figure out the U.S. market directly, instead of a big consulting firm and a stack of reports.

Leadership Teams

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you hire anyone

What does an International Expansion Director actually do?

I build a real, honest plan for how your company can enter or grow in the U.S. market, then I carry it out myself — sitting in the meetings, making the introductions, and following through until it's actually done. You get one person managing the whole process, not a report and a stack of recommendations.

Which countries do you work with?

Companies based anywhere. My most direct experience is with businesses from Turkey, Poland, and Russia, along with high-net-worth retail clients in the U.S., and I work fluently in English, Russian, and Polish.

Are you a lawyer, accountant, or immigration consultant?

No, and I don't act like one. When your move to the U.S. needs a lawyer, accountant, or immigration consultant — company formation, visas, tax filing — you hire that person directly, and I make sure everything stays coordinated around their work. I also have trusted partners I'm happy to recommend for this.

What industries do you work with?

Any. I've worked directly in luxury retail with high-net-worth clients, and I've handled sourcing and manufacturing conversations in Turkey, Poland, and Russia. Software, machinery, food, clothing — the approach is the same: a plan built around the reality of your specific market and competitors, not a generic template.

How does working together actually start?

With a straightforward conversation about your business and what you're trying to do in the U.S. From there, I research your market and competitors and hand you a realistic plan, with honest numbers on time and cost. If it makes sense to move forward, I work with you directly through execution.

How many clients do you take on at once?

A small number, deliberately. I work with a limited group of companies at a time so each one gets real attention, instead of being one account among hundreds.

Where are you based, and do I need to be nearby?

I'm based in Orange County, California. My clients don't need to be — I work with founders and executives wherever their company is.

What languages can we work in?

English, Russian, or Polish — fluently, not through a translator.
