Ana is a talent manager at Malissa Young Management and a career coach who helps actors take charge of the business side of acting, from defining their brand to building a strong team and making meaningful industry connections. Her clients have signed and booked across major markets including Canada, London, and Australia, working on major productions from MARVEL STUDIOS to A24, networks and streamers from NBC to NETFLIX, and major festivals from CANNES to SUNDANCE.

 

Ana's coaching & management clients' highlighted credits include Only Murders in the Building, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Superman, Daredevil, The Diplomat, Housemaid, The Pitt, Chicago Med, And Just Like That, and many more.

​

Ana brings a rare 360° perspective as a manager, coach, and former actor. Born in Georgia (the country) and raised in Russia, she moved to the U.S. at 18 and built her own acting career from scratch, with credits in NCIS: Hawai'i (CBS), Chicago Fire (NBC), Little America (Apple TV+), to name a few. She had to learn the business side the hard way, and that experience became the foundation of a coaching method that has worked for actors worldwide.

​

She speaks the actors' language, understands the craft, and knows exactly what it takes to turn talent into a sustainable career. Known for her no-nonsense style, her clients call her the "no BS biz bestie," a risk-taker and big-picture thinker who thrives on co-piloting careers.
