About
I’m Elena Chunikhina, a Europe-based project manager focused on external provider and vendor coordination. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve helped partners reach a decision-ready state by clarifying operational requirements, aligning commercial terms, and driving follow-ups until blockers are resolved.
I’m comfortable leading calls independently with external stakeholders, challenging unclear answers, and keeping momentum through structured communication. I also produce clear written records, comparisons across providers, and practical handover documentation—so leadership can make fast, well-informed decisions and teams can execute smoothly.
