Valdas is always up beat and brings great energy to those around him! He was great to work with and will miss him on my team! Valdas was part of the Digital Payments team at Western Union and focused on our bank transfer products. I've seen him grow during his time at Western Union with his leadership, communication, and analytical skills. Valdas' contributions helped build a best in class product and brought a level of detail that we had not seen before. I was also very pleased with his ability to navigation through many complex systems and team structures to get things done! I'm confident that those working with Valdas in the future will be very happy with his teamwork and contributions.

I had been working together with Valdas Sukevicius in Western Union Processing Lithuania from November 2015 till August 2016 and during this time period we were working together on multiple processes and initiatives related with Western Union Digital business. Valdas has gained valuable knowledge of risk management, payment processing, product management and developing technical tools that led to more efficient processes and allowed to have a better visibility on product and operations performance. He has been an important part of the team and was recognized several times both on team and site level. In addition, I can confirm that Valdas has been demonstrating behaviors of driven and inspired employee and was a role model for other team members. He is also able to learn new things quickly, can work independently and is able to effectively distribute tasks within the team members.
