Clients highlight my ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, spot the real problems fast, and keep everyone focused on users instead of politics. Whether I’m leading teams or doing the work myself, I drive real impact and get the right things done.
Working with Elena has been a great pleasure! Specifically I’d like to call out her ability to think deep detail and strategic at the same time, her lack of bias or desire to please stakeholders, focusing instead on what’s best for the user in the context of the project, her strong product design skills, her deep knowledge of the IT Development process and her collaborative, positive and innovate-forward attitude. I truly recommend working with Elena, she’ll make your business, project and team better!
Elena is a master at product design both as an individual contributor and as a leader. She has built a very strong team of product designers at DeepL from scratch. Elena and her team collaborated fantastically with other departments like product, engineering, and marketing. Both as a leader and as an IC, Elena is data-driven, pragmatic, and continuously displays the get-things-done approach. I hope we will have a chance to work together again in future.
Elena's work has been a game changer to our digital product. In a very short amount of time, she identified the key challenges we were facing, built out an impactful strategy & successfully led its deployment with our tech partner. I really enjoyed working with her as a trusted partner, capable of grasping the complexities of our ecosystem, articulating successfully strategy & implementation, in a very focus, agile & impactful way.
What I especially appreciated was Elena’s ability to quickly grasp complex context. Within just one week, she understood more than some do in three months.
