Khamzat Asabaev, CEO and Founder at SoftSmile, started his career at Linklaters in 2009, a leading global firm with headquarters in London. He made a stellar career advising international companies like BP, PepsiCo, Hershey, Goldman Sachs, and others on landmark transactions.

It was time to decide if he wants to become an entrepreneur or continue building up his corporate career. Khamzat chose to lead SoftSmile and put all his efforts and resources into making orthodontic treatment affordable.
