Dear …

With this letter of support, I would like to draw your attention to one candidate from Russia who is applying for the September intake of the EMBA Program, and who, in my humble opinion, desires to become a part of the Oxford SAID alumni. His name is Alexey Solovyov.

He addressed me to receive additional information regarding the program, the school, and the Oxford community. I have requested references from our mutual partners, and found out that Alexey is not only an established and successful Russian VC professional; buthe is also he is taking active part in VC/PE industry development being proactive person in the industry wissuth proble m-solving. He also was recommended to me as a man of initiative man ofd action, who has done a lot both for his own business and the whole VC industry. I am sure that Alexey will extend his business attitude ton the studying process.

Haven meeting with Alexey, I understood that he will be able to contribute to the group his experience in investments and modern disruptive technologies, knowledge of domestic market, and specificity of emerging markets as well. I hope that Alexey will become an active member of the group, initiating, organizing, and taking part in all aspects of its actions both during the program and after it. I tend to believe that Alexey will be able to enrich the following intake as well as the whole Oxford alumni network.
