CLIENT'S FEEDBACK

Slav delivered exceptional work. He's the best product manager we've ever worked with, and we will ask for his help again as soon as we start a new project.

Igor Lebovic , Co-founder, CEO at Kindly Care

Working with Slav was a great experience - he is very professional and could come up with detailed and elaborate solutions for complex problem statements. Would definitely work with him again when the opportunity arises :)

Nickson Guay , Executive Director at MarketLight

Slav is a fantastic project manager! He's always on top of things, regardless of the circumstances.

Adam Cook , Director at ONE Creative

Slav worked as a Product Manager on our team at a time when we needed extra coverage. He ramped up quickly, and within days was able to drive his own projects, and lead meetings with the engineers. Slav was quick to learn and dive right in, which made the transition very seamless. His enthusiasm towards the job, problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn made him the perfect fit for the role. Always ready to take on any challenge, and embrace new projects makes Slav very easy and enjoyable to work with. Your product is in good hands if he's on the team. I have a strong feeling we'll be working with Slav again in the near future.

Maida Kasper, Product Manager at Upwork

Stanislav was incredible to work with! He is very organized, writes detailed specs, is able to work with a variety of cross-functional partners (ENG, Marketing, Sales), and delivers features on times and as expected. I highly recommend Stanislav and would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Ken Ebbitt, Senior Director, Enterprise Product Management at Upwork

Stanislav worked with my company over several weeks to create an organigramme, detailed process diagrams, and onboarding documents. Stanislav was able to effectively question and apply critical thinking between our discussions to bring clarity to the company and future growth. He is very professional and passionate about his work. Highly recommended.

Barry Reynolds, Managing Director at WP Design

Stan worked with us to overhaul our company processes. These had originally been created by another person, it’s never easy picking up somebody else's work but he did so in a fast, efficient manner and we were very happy with the work that he did and his level of responsiveness – in short we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his work to others.
