A MEETING IN ALMAU

The audience mainly consisted of future marketing specialists and managers of the hotel and catering business. The Q&A questions they asked Andrey chimed in with their majors: should a businessperson take risks during an economic downturn, is Andrey planning to open a restaurant, why did the lecturer choose to work in a small company over an international company, etc.

Andrey Astakhov is a businessperson, director of Caravan Beverages Group (Pago, Vittel, Perrier) and the president of The Rotary Club Almaty. With a degree in law and experience in the FMCG sector of 20 years and counting, Andrey is a leading professional in distribution and marketing of major brands.
