About
About Sendema Danzurun — Global Mobility Consultant.
I'm an independent global mobility consultant based in New York, working with US mid-market companies on mobility strategy, program design, and fractional leadership. Before going independent, I spent fifteen years building mobility programs inside the world's largest professional services firms.
I started my career in immigration on the other side of the desk.
From 2007 to 2012, I worked as an Immigration Case Officer at the Australian Embassy in Moscow — adjudicating employment-based and business visas, conducting integrity assessments, and joining inter-embassy workshops with US Department of State counterparts on fraud detection and adjudication standards. I learned, at twenty-something, what governments actually look for when they decide whether to let someone in.
Fifteen years later, after eight years at EY and four leading PwC's mobility practice across Central and Eastern Europe, I work the third side of that table — advising the companies that send people across borders.
At PwC, between 2020 and 2024, I led the regional immigration and global mobility practice across 29 countries. I chaired the regional immigration board, owned the immigration budget, ran end-to-end vendor selection, and managed a team of nine. I built and rolled out a region-wide pre-clearance technology that made immigration risk assessment a mandatory gate before any cross-border activity — partnering with IT, Tax, Tech, and Comms to make it stick.
During my time at PwC, I partnered closely with the US firm on H-1B cap contingency planning — redeploying foreign national employees inside the global network during cap shortages to keep US engagement teams staffed and prevent attrition. When PwC divested its mobility practice as Vialto Partners in 2022, I helped define which services to retain, which to transition, and how to restructure post-divestiture vendor relationships and SLAs.
Before PwC, I spent eight years at EY. From 2017 to 2020, I served in Global Programs as the central point of contact for EY offices worldwide on US-focused mobility — short-term resourcing, secondments, and permanent transfers from Latin America, the Philippines, India, Africa, and EMEA. From 2012 to 2017, in EMEIA Global Mobility, I ran a global talent pipeline that matched more than 300 professionals annually to EY engagements.
Since launching independent practice in late 2024, I've been working with US mid-market companies on global mobility audits, program design, and fractional leadership engagements. Most client details are under NDA — I'm happy to discuss reference calls under mutual confidentiality once we've talked.
“Few people can navigate the regulatory complexity of US-bound mobility while keeping the program operationally sane. Sendema is one of them.”
Today
Today, I do three things. I audit mobility functions to tell companies where they actually stand. I build programs from scratch for companies that need one. And I serve as a fractional head of global mobility for companies that have outgrown ad-hoc handling but aren't ready to hire in-house.
I hold an M.A. from Lomonosov Moscow State University. I'm authorized to work in the United States — no sponsorship required.
