Summary

Delivery manager with strong experience in blockchain, fintech and e-commerce. I was leading projects from pre-sales to go-live and developed strong and trustful relationships with clients and partners. My experience includes management of complex waterfall and agile projects with budgets over €1M with multicultural and distributed teams (UK, USA, UAE, EU countries, Israel, Colombia, Eastern European countries). Furthermore, I have built multiple teams from scratch and worked in both start-up and outsource environments. Being a self motivated and proactive leader I successfully delivered value with each and every project I was in charge of by choosing the best approach for project delivery and meeting company`s goals.
