Dear Members and Friends,
I am deeply honored to welcome you to the Elite Skillset Association (ESA), an embodiment of a vision that took root in 2017, shortly after I moved to the USA.
As a former professional athlete and sports scientist, I've spent decades immersed in the world of top-level athletes, seeking to understand what drives them to be the best. This pursuit led me to recognize a universal desire for excellence, not just in sports but across various professions. Colleagues in different fields, much like athletes, were training their minds and skills, aiming for the pinnacle of their craft. This realization inspired the formation of ESA, an association of guilds designed to nurture the world's most talented specialists, enabling them to shine and contribute innovative services and products.
The journey began with Akivino in 2017, a platform connecting sports specialists. Its transformation into ESA was a natural progression, broadening the scope to unite top talents across diverse disciplines. ESA's mission is to address global challenges, foster innovation, and pave the way for a future filled with endless possibilities.
I see a compelling parallel between elite athletes and ESA's top experts, united by a relentless pursuit of excellence, innovation, and leadership.
Within our association, each guild functions like a close-knit family, embracing diversity, support, and unity. I am personally proud of each of our members, knowing them by name, expertise, and skills. Their individual contributions make our collective mission to tackle pressing global issues, assist governance bodies, businesses, non-profit organizations, and more, all the more vital.
As we continue this journey as the "Pioneers of Change," I am filled with excitement and gratitude. Together, we are more than a professional community; we are a force for positive change, and I eagerly anticipate where this path will lead us.
With warm regards,
Egor Akimov, founder of the Elite skillset association
