The main goal of this training initiative is to strengthen the company’s position in the Russian telecom market, enhance key leadership competencies so that executives can bring the company to a new level of development, and promote stronger cross-regional connections. I wish all participants a productive and successful learning experience.

The program will conclude with in-person implementation sessions focused on developing and applying managerial practices.
