VLADIMIR INGERMAN - Distinguished Oilman and Doctor of Technical Science.  I've traveled to 74 countries, swum in 55 seas and oceans, and taken part in a boat journey around the world, so I've seen the beauty of life.  I was born in the Northern Caucasus of the Soviet Union.  My professional journey began with the Tajikistan Field Expedition and continued into scientific circles in Moscow.  Later, I oversaw the exploration and development of oil and gas reserves in Western Siberia and eventually traveled to the United States.  Along the way, I learnt the importance of resilience and adaptability—skills that have proven invaluable in my pursuit of health and life.
