Speaker Bio
Elena initiated and co-leads CEO Genome Project™ — a leading research program and client practice focused on CEOs. CEO Genome Project™ is featured in a cover article of Harvard Business Review and will be the subject of an upcoming book, The CEO Next Door (Crown Publishing, 2018). CEO Genome Project™ explores paths and behaviors that lead to the top, typical setbacks CEOs encounter and ways to prevent them – based on ghSMART’s proprietary database of over 18,000 leaders. Elena is also a member of McKinsey M&A Integration Council – an invitation-only forum of senior executives from major corporations to share M&A best practices.
Prior to joining ghSMART, Elena was an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, where she advised CEOs and senior executives of Fortune 500 companies and major private equity players on the issues of M&A, business strategy, organizational change (including CEO “100-day” plans), and operations. Her clients included major corporations in media, technology, and financial services industries. Prior to McKinsey Elena started her career in finance and accounting, first with Andersen Worldwide in New York and later with AIG-Brunswick private equity in Moscow, Russia.
