Lena is an international communications and branding expert with a life shaped by many cultures. Born in Uzbekistan, in the former Soviet Union, raised in Israel, and now living in Germany, she draws inspiration from her Bukharian roots and the diverse cultures that have influenced her along the way. Speaking five languages, she loves exploring new cultures and is always excited to meet people from around the world. Through her initiative My Traditional Modern Kitchen, Lena has recently started recreating her grandmother’s Bukharian recipes with a modern, healthier twist — preserving family heritage while adapting it to the lifestyle of a busy mom. A true enthusiast of global cuisine and intercultural exchange, she loves to host and socialize with friends alongside her husband, always around a table filled with good food, warm stories, and meaningful conversations that bring people together across cultures.
