IGOR FILATOV
Client delivery · business development · production · digital operations
20+ years turning complex briefs into delivered projects and operating businesses — from Hewlett-Packard web projects and international brand production to agency leadership, e-commerce and AI-powered digital systems.
Selected clients and organisations: Hewlett-Packard · Cartier · Chanel · Moncler · BMW · Pirelli · VOGUE / Condé Nast · InStyle · Radisson · public and government-facing programmes.
WHAT I DO
My strongest roles are the ones where a project has clients, money, suppliers, technical constraints and a deadline — and somebody has to own the whole thing rather than one narrow part.
Finding and developing opportunities, understanding the real client need, shaping proposals, negotiating scope and budget, presenting solutions and building long-term relationships.
new business · tenders · proposals · key accounts · pricing · negotiation · commercial ownership
Turning an unclear brief into a workable plan: scope, budget, responsibilities, suppliers, approvals, logistics, risks and delivery. Comfortable running several projects in parallel.
project P&L · budgets · procurement · stakeholders · suppliers · deadlines · risk · delivery
Years of hands-on experience with events, exhibitions, retail installations, scenic production and fabrication. I understand how things are actually made, transported, installed and fixed on site.
events · exhibitions · retail · fabrication · CNC · laser · 3D printing · logistics · installation
I also build and operate digital products: e-commerce, websites, internal tools, APIs, bots and AI-assisted workflows. Technology is part of how I solve operational problems, not a separate identity.

A few examples that explain the range better than a long list of job titles.
LUXURY / RETAIL
Private events · boutique activations · visual merchandising · pop-ups · installations

PRODUCT / E-COMMERCE
