About this episode

In this week’s episode of the Treasury Career Corner podcast, I’m joined by Tanya Kuznetsova, the Director of Treasury at Centric Brands Inc. She’s worked across different sectors in different countries, so has plenty of experience that she can share with our listeners.

Centric Brands Inc. is a leading lifestyle brand collective, bringing together creative minds from the worlds of fashion and commerce, sourcing, technology, marketing and digital. They design, produce and manage kid’s wear and women’s and men’s accessories and apparel and distribute their products across all retail and digital channels in North America and in international markets. Currently they employ approximately 4,000 employees in offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Greensboro, N.C., Toronto and Montreal and in stores and partner shops throughout North America.

Before she became a Director of Treasury, she worked for the largest Russian food retailer as an Assistant Treasurer where she helped the business grow from 600 stores to 16,000. She’s also worked for the Finance Department of Russian Railways where she facilitated the company’s first $600 million syndicated loan.

On the podcast we discussed…

  • Tanya’s earliest experience in treasury
  • How Tanya transitioned within x5 Retail Group from Project Finance Manager to Assistant Treasurer
  • If companies in Russia are digitally orientated

  • How Tanya uses her passion for technology on a day to day basis
