🌟 Client Spotlight: Justin Hunt of Poodll 🌟

"We sought Vladimir 's help at a time when our business had stopped growing and we were struggling to get back on track. Some consultants just fire off commonly spouted saas wisdom. But Vlad was great. He took the time to research our market and our business and to really understand it. Only then did he come back with his advice. His advice included some quick wins (e.g ways get leads at trade shows) but mainly it was an actionable set of steps and processes that we could use to get our business growing again. The results have been fantastic. Life still is not easy, but we have so much more clarity on where to put our energy and its working. I recommend Vlad without any reservation and am happy to talk with you about our experience."

Review: 
"Originally when I first contacted Irina I was a SAAS founder stuck in managing all my teams' operations trying to make all the developers work efficiently and deliver good results.
The thing is, my team always asked too many questions and they didn't have a good idea what to do all the time.
The biggest obstacle was that I wanted to start finally focusing on marketing our system, but I couldn't step away from managing the daily operations. That meant I couldn't really grow the business if I didn't switch the focus, which meant I wasn't able to make my project a success.
Then I hired Irina to help to build a company culture that can support self-organization!
In only a few hours it became crystal clear to me how to make developers manage themselves and still be on track because I saw that I actually could do less hands-on management and my team could still perform.
With Irina as our Agile coach, I can now finally focus on growing my business and be sure my team has got my back.
And that's why I'm providing my highest recommendations to work with Irina so you can get these types of results too."

Review: 
"Hire Irina if:
🚫 You're tired of hiring and re-hiring amateur project managers
🚫 You know that your project management system is lacking
🚫 You aren't surrounded with people that give you the constructive and direct feedback you need to grow your business
🚫 You're in charge of managing projects and you HATE it or like it but are lying to yourself at being good at it
✅ You're ready for growth
✅ You're ready for clarity on what's going on in your business
✅ You're a business owner long overdue for a vacation but can't take one because you're afraid everything will fall apart.

Irina was a pivotal resource in our growth as a company at a very crucial point. She came in as I was really feeling the pain of being a solo business owner that was trying to grow their organization and was feeling the growing pain of wearing so many hats in the business that I wasn't suited for.

Irina was outside of my initial budget, but I was 100% certain she was the right expert to untangle the mess and set our startup in a better growth trajectory with a cleaned-up PM experience. She was confident and decisive from the get-go, which was great. I get that some people want to collaborate with experts, but in an area where I have no expertise, that is the last thing I need to be doing. 

There are very few people that you can 100% trust, and Irina is one of them. With her, I always felt that if something went wrong she would take complete ownership to fix that problem at all costs and wouldn't throw up her hands. She's not only a specialist in PM but a generalist overall when it comes to growing a business and it's operations, and getting sh*t done! 

Had I not hired Irina when I did, I'd not be surprised if our business had closed due to crumbling operations and lackluster project management expertise."

Vyng, Inc.

Review:
"We were finding our engineering velocity had ground to a halt as we brought on more engineers. Especially with remote teams, improving communication and process became a necessity. So we set out to find a coach to help us improve our agile process and communication.
Irina was incredibly professional and came in with well-honed process principles. She met with team members and reviewed Jira, then hit the ground running with team education via video demos, process proposals and overall consensus-building (what good is a process if everyone is not on board).
She then set up all our team meetings with agendas, and acted as a scrum master, moderator and referee for standup, backlog refinement, sprint planning, sprint review, and retrospective ensuring we all adhered to the process, played our defined roles and stuck to the principles of Scrum. Additionally, she added some time-saving automation in Jira and introduced us to some cool 3rd party tools that saved us real-time.
Overall, Irina quickly became an invaluable member of our team, including offering great insight to our leadership team and helped us graduate from the world of the processes to a more self-governing team with unified understanding and accountability.
If you are a startup or maturing engineering team that has sort of made-up process, as an amalgamation of what different engineers have picked up from various companies they’ve worked out, we would highly recommend working with Irina, to unify your process, and provide the predictability that communication and accountability bring."
