TESTIMONIALS
Chris Sternberg
President & COO
AutoGrid 2018
Hired by the Board as a new President and COO of AutoGrid and dropped into the whirlwind of a silicon valley startup revolutionizing the global power industry, I called on Elena to help set up a structure to deliver complex enterprise software against massive global growth. Elena delivered for AutoGrid and for me personally at a very high level. She also stepped up and ran a software selection project for professional services delivery software. Again, she delivered. The key to her success is her ability to listen and draw on her many experiences to bring solutions forward that just work. My thanks to her and I look forward to hiring her again in the future.

SVP, Global Service & CPO
AppNexus 2017
Hiring Elena at AppNexus was one of the best decisions I've made. She has one of the best minds I worked with in terms of building scaled organizations. She also did a wonderful job building a vibrant culture where employees feel recognized and driven to do great work. I highly recommend her.
Anthony Falco
VP, Product Management & Technical Services
Akamai 2001
Elena excelled at the essential mission of Service Delivery at Akamai -- to quickly and efficiently bring customers onto the service, and thereafter deliver high-quality customer service. This trivial seeming task required she hire strong people, properly motivate them, inculcate in them the value of repeatable process, and demonstrate constant and unswerving leadership. For the business this equated to faster time to billing and more profitable, long term relationships. I recommend Elena without hesitation.
Steve Hughes
CEO
OILspace, 2008
When I ask Elena to join the Company, her remit was to put the 'P' into our Professional Services. She achieved this very quickly and raised our game in this important area. During the time she was working at OILspace, we had a record Professional Services performance whilst introducing world class processes and methods.
Rachel Rubenstein
Managing Director EMEA
Riskdata 2009
Elena joined Riskdata and immediately had a positive impact on the organization as a whole. Elena is one of the best listeners and is able to take problems and actually put a strategy together on how to solve problems at hand. She is a person who DELIVERS and carries with her a work ethic that is rare to find these days.

MetLife 2013
It is my privilege to recommend Elena. Elena is a professional leader who I have had the pleasure of working with as her client. We brought Elena and her team in to help us move forward with emerging technologies. Her expertise, organization, and integrity greatly contributed to our success. Although I was the client engaging Elena and her team, Elena always made me feel part of her team. That collaboration is what made the experience working with Elena effective and positive. It is evident that she has deep knowledge in her subjects, and always conducts herself in the most professional manner. The work she produced for our project was detailed, thorough and valuable. I hope to work with Elena again in the future. She is a tremendous asset to any project!
