Andrei is one of those people who can seamlessly bridge the gap between tech and management. His strong engineering skills combined with profound business acumen makes him an exemplary leader who can build and grow a data engineering and analytics team almost single-handedly, something I had the pleasure of witnessing over a period of nearly 2 years. His ability to push back against supposedly urgent, and at times unreasonable, requests from different departments ensures that his team is rarely, if ever, inundated with constant stream of data requests. Not to mention, he's a great human being who would go the extra mile to make people feel comfortable around him, and he always tries to keep himself up-to-date with what's happening with his direct reports, professional or otherwise, through regular 1:1 interactions. Anyone looking to build a data team from scratch, Andrei is your guy. I'm lucky to have worked with him, and given a chance, would gladly do so again.

Andrei is one of the kindest and smartest people I know. During our time together he transformed the business through the power of data and was truly committed to building an inclusive team. I’m proud to call him my peer and any company would be lucky to have him. His talent, personality and presence shines through everything he does and it’s been a pleasure working with him.
