This week's Rule 5 special features Xenia Tchoumi:
Xenia Tchoumitcheva (Ксения Чумичева, born 5 August 1987), known professionally as Xenia Tchoumi, is a Russian-Swiss model, entrepreneur, and content creator.

Xenia Tchoumitcheva was born in Magnitogorsk, Russia. When she was 6 years old her family emigrated to Lugano, Switzerland. Tchoumitcheva lived in the Italian part of Switzerland, before moving to London, England. 

She graduated in 2010 from the Università della Svizzera italiana with a Bachelor Degree in economics. She speaks Italian, Russian, German, French, English and Spanish. 
Tchoumitcheva has interned at several financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch, The London Hedge Fund Duet Group and JP Morgan Chase

Tchoumitcheva began modelling at the age of 12. She entered the Miss Switzerland pageant in 2006, where she was named 1st runner-up and Miss Photogenic. For the first time, the Miss Switzerland organization offered Tchoumitcheva an appearance contract similar to that of the winner. After the contest she was described as the "most eligible single woman in Switzerland". In May 2009 she was voted as the Best Bikini Body, in a survey by the magazine Schweizer Illustrierte. In 2012 she was profiled in the Spanish GQ magazine. In December 2012, the Swiss edition of Maxim magazine put her on the cover, awarding her the title of "Most Beautiful Woman of the Year". 

A busy girl, 
Tchoumitcheva speaks regularly at universities and conferences about female leadership, as well as her online business, brand creation, and other topics.  She spoke at the Swiss Web Program Festival, at the Cantonal Bank of Geneva, and at the University of St.Gallen Alumni Conference, where she also interviewed the ex-Deutsche Bank CEO Josef Ackermann. In September 2015 she gave a TEDx talk about female leadership and internet against prejudice. 

In 2017, she gave a talk at the United Nations HQ about the power of digital women, and was officially nominated an ITC SheTrades ambassador. 

Tchoumitcheva began to work in commercials and music videos in 2007 (e.g. "Candino-Festina").  She starred in the short movie Les Enfants de la Honte of the French film maker Alain Margot, which appeared on the NIFF film festival. She was in the music video with Italian-Swiss singer Paolo Meneguzzi in May 2010. In June 2011 she was supporting role in the short film Lines.

There's more, but that's enough for now.
