More about Dina Shmuley’s Responsibilities
Currently serving as Executive Director, Dina Shmuley is responsible for financial strategy, operational transformation, and international expansion of a large distribution and digital ecosystem group.
With a focus on building a scalable, data-driven business model, the organization is growing its presence across the Middle East and Asian markets. More broadly, throughout my career I have worked with organizations that operate at the level of national infrastructure and cross-border investment — where companies are not just market players, but part of economic architecture.
She also acts as an advisor to the Government of the Karachay — Cherkess Republic, supporting the implementation of a regional technology cluster. Alongside this, Dina serves as a consultant to TransService Group — the major Partner of Russian RW. TransService and T Service are multi-service outsourcing companies that provide professional support for individual systems as well as entire infrastructure complexes.

What Defines Success for a Leader
In infrastructure and capital-intensive industries, leadership is defined less by charisma and more by structural thinking.
Dina Shmuley reflects, “A successful leader must be able to make long-horizon decisions under uncertainty, understand capital as a strategic instrument, and align stakeholders with very different interests — from regulators to investors to operational teams. Ultimately, leadership today is about designing resilient systems, not just managing people.”
Adaptability Amidst Technological Advancements
Currently, AI is everywhere and is reshaping the way industries operate. Digital transformation is no longer a support function — it is the operating model itself.
In my current role, we are implementing AI-driven management systems, automating operational processes, and rebuilding finance into a fully data-centered architecture. These changes allow us to scale internationally, improve decision speed, and reduce structural inefficiencies.
Earlier in my career, I also worked on fintech initiatives and digital financial assets, where technology reshaped not only processes, but the very nature of capital markets,” Dina mentions.
Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Professionals
Addressing professionals who have just started out in her field, Dina shares, “Start with understanding capital — how it moves, how it is structured, and how it creates leverage.
Second, seek complexity early. Real growth happens in environments where decisions have consequences and scale matters.
And finally, think internationally from day one. The future belongs to professionals who can operate across borders, regulatory systems, and economic cultures.”
