Ekaterina Zhilina

My name is Ekaterina Zhilina. Most people, I had ever worked with, know me as Katya Marioshka, and I don't mind being called like that. This traditional Russian doll is my nickname for about 5 years now and also the name of creative agency that I run:

matrioshka-sailing.com

Half of my time I am based in Lisbon, Portugal and the other half - in Delhi, India, but I’m always ready to jump on the plane and go anywhere to cover a good story or an exciting event. My travel bag is always packed!

I do sailing marketing and communication for sailing teams and sailing projects. For several years I have been working as media crew for professional sailing teams in various destinations all over Europe as well as in the Caribbean, Middle East and South-Eastern Asia in various competitions: Volvo Ocean Race, America's Cup, RC44, Extreme 40 and more.
