Overcoming Failure & Rejection - An Immigrant Story

Shiloh Karshima Season 2 Episode 14

Alina Timofeeva was born and raised in Russia by her uneducated grandmother living in poverty in the most mafia area of Russia.  Her grandmother's greatest aspiration for her was to become a housewife.  But Alina had another dreams.  Dreams that were so persistent she refused to give in to 497 rejection letters. 

Join us as we get an inside view of a Russian woman's immigration story to the UK, how she became an Associate Partner by age of 30 in a male dominated technology industry, her perspective on failure, how she gives back to those who come after her, her perspective on the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and her thoughts on how we can make a difference for those effected.
