About us

EMCR Professional Network

We are a team of financial professionals with extensive experience in the global financial industry. Over many years, with such firms as UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Sberbank, we gained a wide network of connections and a strong reputation in financial and business communities globally and in CEEMEA, including CIS countries and Russia. We decided to use our connections and reputation to build a professional social network that will allow people to understand who is an expert in economics, finance and business and who is not and at the same time to allow true experts to stand out against the sea of pseudo-expertise in other social networks. Verified EMCR profile is an expert’s quality stamp for colleagues, clients and employers.

  • What we do

    We help true experts in economics, finance and business to stand out against all the pseudo-expertise on the Internet and provide them with tools to monetize their skills by offering them permanent and freelance jobs as well as publishing services for their expert materials. We help people to understand who is an expert and who is not and give them the platform where they can hire true experts or read their expert materials.

  • Our advantages

    We do not allow on our platform any content, which is unethical, unprofessional or not transparent. We encourage maximum transparency of all expert profiles and we have an expert peer-verification mechanism which is going to become only stricter with time.

  • What we value in our experts

    EMCR stands on three pillars: Ethics, Professionalism and Integrity. We give our experts freedom to interact with their audience, clients and employers on our platform or outside of it, freedom to make mistakes and get disappointed included. However, if a person has verified EMCR profile it implies that she shares our values and acts accordingly. All cases of unethical and unprofessional behavior will be investigated, and all responsible persons will be removed from our platform.
