Please note that this conversation with Ivanova will be in Russian. Maya Ivanova is a certified foresight practitioner, futurist, and ICF-certified coach with a passion for helping individuals and organizations navigate uncertainty and create long-term strategies. Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, Maya earned her master’s degree in technology and worked as a data analyst in an IT company before switching her career path to foresight. She moved to California, USA 11 years ago, where she now lives with her husband and two children. Starting from scratch in a new country, Maya balanced family life and raising her kids while launching a YouTube blog as a side hobby to share her passion for non-fiction books.

Today, Maya combines her expertise in future trends with coaching techniques to help clients build clear, actionable visions of their future. She is dedicated to making foresight more accessible and engaging for a wider audience, which is why she runs a blog about foresight and future thinking on social media.
