ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Matthew Francis was born in Leicester, England, in 1975. He was trained as a Lawyer and from 1999 lived in The States for 2 years, working on some high profile tobacco litigation cases. He returned to the UK and in 2002, decided to set up a business in Russia.
He then spent the next 5 years of his life, advising Russian companies on how to expand their operations into The West. He made a success of his own business, working with some of the world’s leading organizations, but his success was also his downfall. In 2007 he was threatened by one of his competitors and had to leave Russia.
Although it all ended spectacularly, the experiences he had while living and working in this exciting and volatile environment have provided him with considerable experience in the area of Russian Business and Social Affairs. He now lives in Rugby, England and works as a Public Relations Consultant, working with Russian companies looking to set up their operations in The UK.
