I have 17 years of IT expe­ri­ence, 7 years as a Busi­ness Ana­lyst and 10 years as a Project Manager.

I’m work­ing as a Ser­vice Deliv­ery Man­ag­er for our biggest client in Switzer­land, tak­ing full own­er­ship of staffing, deliv­ery, esca­la­tion han­dling, project ramp ups and ramp downs, inter­nal and exter­nal move­ments of staff, coor­di­na­tion with oth­er accounts, over­see­ing 80 EPAMers in cca. 10 projects. For a good four years, I also led the Swiss BA & PM depart­ment help­ing 100+ EPAMers. As a BA & PM pipeline man­ag­er, I was able to fill more than 100 posi­tions, con­duct­ing over 500 tech­ni­cal interviews.

Pre­vi­ous­ly, as a project man­ag­er, I worked on var­i­ous assign­ments, start­ing with being a PM of test­ing teams, con­tin­u­ing to work as a tran­si­tion man­ag­er ramp­ing up a team from 0 to 25, con­tin­u­ing my work there first as PM and then as deliv­ery unit man­ag­er. After­wards, I worked on mul­ti­ple ven­dor tran­si­tions to ramp up teams of 15 to 30 people.

I’m a proud EPAMer since 2010, I got the EPAM Impact (CEO) Award twice (2016, 2018).
