Prior to assuming her current position, she rose through the ranks from a specialist and a head of department to the Vice President in the shortest time period.

The creation of a joint venture (KGNT, KING, Worley Parsons, Fluor) marked a new milestone in the development of Kazakhstan engineering, when the domestic company was a co-founder of the project for the first time, and not a subcontractor of other world-known engineering companies. This made it possible to switch to a new form of cooperation between local and foreign companies for national industry with opportunities to transfer global industrial expertise and establish parity relationships.
