ksenia@G20Ys.org

Ksenia strongly believes in the positive role of the NGOs and international civil society projects for international cooperation and development. That is why for the last 6 years she has been the President of the International Youth Diplomacy League NGO.

Back in 2005 she invented the idea and the concept of the G8 Youth Summit and consequently chaired the organizational committee of the first G8 Youth Summit in Saint-Petersburg in 2006. After the Summit, together with its first participants, who established 7 NGOs in 7 other G8 nations, she took part in organizing the G8 Youth Summit 2007 in Berlin, 2008 in Tokyo and 2009 in Milan. During 6 years of this work she received invaluable experience of the international project management in 5 countries: Russia, France, Japan, Germany and Italy.

While still taking part in organizing the upcoming 2010 G8 Youth Summit, in the changing realities of financial crisis she embarked on another important public job. She is now in charge of the G-20Y Summit International Organizing Committee and strongly believes that this civil society project will contribute to the prosperity of companies, as well as communities around the world and will lead to the creation of a communique for the benefit of civil society and the economic community.

She holds Master degree of the School of International Relations, Saint-Petersburg State University and is now preparing her PhD dissertation, that aims at redefining the role of the G-20 in the global affairs.

Ksenia speaks fluent English, French and Russian.
