About

What ChatGPT thinks about me: Yana is the founder and CEO of FIGHT CLUB CDMX, an exclusive networking community in Mexico City. Through FC, Yana offers unique and high-caliber experiences such as hiking, cycling, paintball, go-karting, parties in masks, coffee and art meetings, and more. Each event is hosted at a hidden location, with a carefully filtered guest list to ensure a safe, high-level, and impactful experience. Participants must apply to qualify, maintaining the community's exclusive and elite nature. Originally from a Russian-German background, Yana has lived in 10 countries, mastered five languages (with Mexican Spanish being the fifth), and traveled to over 100 countries. Despite her global experiences, she chose Mexico City as her home, where she has built deep ties to its vibrant culture and business scene—a place she proudly considers her heart's home. Yana's professional background includes working at Microsoft, where she gained valuable insights into global business operations and leadership. She also founded yanaimmis.com, a consultancy specializing in immigration and study abroad services, and initiated a series of successful networking events in Ireland during her time at Microsoft. Currently, Yana is expanding her reach with an event management business, further solidifying her reputation as a leader in curating exclusive and impactful networking experiences. Through FIGHT CLUB CDMX and her other ventures, Yana is committed to empowering individuals, fostering long-lasting professional relationships, and creating high-impact experiences that inspire growth and success across industries and cultures. The best way to connect with Yana is through LinkedIn, where she posts about studying abroad trends, events, Mexico, Microsoft, and mostly, her dog who is the biggest workload that falls on her shoulders.
