British American Tobacco was the first multinational company which I started to work for right after graduating from the university. As a first step BAT hired me as intern in marketing department. During this time of period I did my best to overachieve all the requirements to get the full-time job offer from the company as by all means this was my dream company and job. As a result of my hard work and efforts I got what I was striving for, that was an outstanding rating for my performance during the last seven months and I moved to a position as business development executive. Being working in this position, I become a valuable member of business development department, constantly offering new and innovative marketing ideas to strengthen company performance and to simplify the daily work of our fields force.

After almost two years at this position, again I got an outstanding rating for my performance and successfully moved up to Baku area manager role in trade marketing department with seventeen direct reports in my team. Through regular meetings, trainings and hard work done my team become a number one in field execution all over the city, leaving the competition far behind the benchmark set. My team was regularly meeting sales and other marketing program targets which was making me very proud of it. As a result early in 2013 I was nominated with “lister” status which meant the person with the high potential to grow to upper management roles during upcoming years.
