Hello! I'm EUGENE Kazakov
Projects, business management, creative approach — yes, that’s what I do and how I do it, because I am a Project/Business Manager.Open to job offers:

From scratch to launch and successful customer feedback
Business-driven Project Manager with 15+ years of experience in building and managing businesses, leading teams of up to 16 employees, and conducting negotiations with shopping mall directors, government representatives, and suppliers from China. Expertise in business development, logistics (Belarus–China supply chain), financial analysis, and stakeholder management.
Currently transitioning into IT project/business management. Completing the Google Project Management Certificate (Coursera, Sept 2025) and training in Agile, Scrum, Jira, and Asana. Did I make mistakes? Of course! I fully understand — the only one who never makes mistakes is the one who does nothing and waits for someone else to do it
Without motivation and respect, a company will fail
I know that nobody really wants to work (as one programmer friend once said). But I also know how important it is to keep a team motivated. Without the best and most respectful relationships, a company is unlikely to succeed
My Education and Life Experience
I graduated from the Belarusian Institute of Law with a higher degree in International Law. After that, my journey turned toward business, launching project after project.
As a hobby, I managed a music band of 6-7 people and took part in volunteer work with my friend from the United States, focusing on helping children and organizing the purchase and delivery of gifts (charity).
I engaged with city authorities, wrote letters to the Presidents of the United States, Canada, and Germany, and worked with regulatory bodies in the business sector.
I understand what negotiations, respect, values, and charisma mean — and charisma is something I truly have:)
Languages
Russian — native.
Polish — I understand and speak fluently (of course, there’s always room to grow); still improving my writing, but living and working in Poland every day keeps my level high.
English — Currently at B1–B2, with daily learning and practice aimed at reaching C1 very soon.

I know what true values are
I am a father of three sons, and I know how to put out fires and apply three different approaches to three very different personalities.
For some, children are a burden — for me, they are an inspiration. For some, a wife is an obstacle — for me, she is my greatest ally. These are my values. And most importantly — they never get in the way of my work!
I have no bad habits, I enjoy working with people, and I respect employers who value their employees — because, in the end, results impact the entire company
