Together with his wife Valeria in the USA, Ilya founded a startup that guesses the desires of customers with incredible conversion. His store FOX Nails USA sets trends in global e-commerce and works, according to Ilya, more efficiently than Amazon and changes the rules of the game in e-commerce. That is, now, according to the startuper, instead of the era of mass offers, an era of hyper-personalized commerce is coming, where each customer receives a unique experience adapted to his individual needs.
