BALAYAN RUN & FORBES CLUB: First Joint Training Session
At the Luzhniki Sports Complex, members of the BALAYAN RUN community (powered by BALAYAN GROUP) and the global network of top executives and entrepreneurs from Forbes Club came together for their first joint running session.
Oxana Balayan, successful entrepreneur and founder of the leading consulting firm BALAYAN GROUP, and Dmitry Ozman, President of Forbes Club, development director of Forbes Russia, and renowned image consultant, led their teams in a friendly race to outrun each other.
This joint training was a natural extension of the long-standing friendship between Oxana Balayan and Dmitry Ozman. Oxana's membership in Forbes Club, her keynotes at club events, participation in the expert council of the "30 Under 30" ranking since its inception, and her role as moderator of the star-studded session on sports entrepreneurship at Russia's first "Masters of Sport: New Rules of the Game" forum have all strengthened their professional connection.
The participants completed a 5 km run along the Luzhnetskaya Embankment, exchanged business insights, expanded their networks, and left feeling energized and motivated.
